Rustenberg John X Merriman

2013 - Traditional Bordeaux blend of Merlot, Cabernet, Cab Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec. A powerful wine that rewards aging. In its youth the wine is worth decanting and expresses cassis, black currant and dark fruits complemented with cigar tobacco and sour cherry notes. As the wine ages and its fine-grained tannins soften, a softer more savory palate develops revealing wonderful drink ability and tertiary complexity.
