Description
Ansela Van De Caab is a Bordeaux style blend wine made of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot. The wine is aged for 10 years in oak barrels. The wine has dark fruit flavors with a slight tealeaf herbaceousness and wood spice. The wine has a long lasting finish with savory hints of olive tapenade.
Rich and velvety, this is a tightly knit wine built to last yet accessible now thanks to its well-rounded tannins. Concentrated dark fruits (blackcurrants, cassis) are lifted by a slight tealeaf herbaceousness and plenty of wood spice (sandalwood, cigar box, graphite). There are also some savoury hints of olive tapenade, particularly on the lingering finish, which combined with fresh acid balance suggest improvement in bottle for at least a decade.
Bottle size: 750ml
