ANTHONIJ RUPERT CABERNET SAUVIGNON 2020

Layered nose of inviting tea leaf, violets, dark Christmas cake and black cherries. The palate is also layered, rich with those same elements – Christmas cake sumptuousness vying with brewed tea, tomato leaf and spicy, cedary hints from time in barrel. Seductive, plush and elegantly refined but with a muscular power lurking deep down, this is an impressive, structured but rewarding wine. The integration of wood and fruit is impressive and it is beautifully balanced and long. The aftertaste lingers.

Complex bouquet of fruitcake, cedar, cocoa and a perfumed whiff of dried lavender. Broad, fleshy and succulent with all of that the nose promises being delivered on the palate. Spice sprinkled cedar with rich dark fruitcake flavour. Wonderfully soft, rounded and silky palate that shows cohesion and refinement. Impressive density and concentration that doesn’t overwhelm. Nor does the oak used in the maturation of this impressive blend. Plush, comfortable and eminently rewarding with a lingering dry tail.

Arresting bead of fine but vigorous bubbles that burst to the surface, carrying with it shy but complex aromas of citrus leaf, baked tarte tatin and a hint of lily-of-the-valley. Flavours of crunchy, tart, crisp green apple mingle with a kelpy, somewhat saline maritime note initially before becoming altogether richer, with baked bread, sesame cracker and even a roasted nut element becoming apparent. Complex and sophisticated with a superb balance of thrilling acid freshness and succulence with the fuller, creamy lees elements as well as retaining its vivid fruit expression. Poised, focussed, structured and long, it remains lively with citrus vibrance to the end.

Eye-catching stream of tiny, fine bubbles leads to a nose of lime leaf, sea breeze and a subtle undertone of florality, honey and dried apple rings. The vibrance of the crisp, fizzy lime and lemon sherbert tang is immediately apparent in the mouth, along with a grapefruit hint. Then a rich peacock’s tail of toasty, creamy, honeyed oatmeal cookie flavours unfolds. It’s full, rounded and textural but never loses its focus or taut tension because of the succulent acidity throughout. Beautifully composed, it is bright and fresh yet elegant, structured, genteel and rewardingly long.

Tempting hints of delicate florals flank more prominent aromas of chamomile, white peach, and lightly honeyed spice. Ripe, sunkissed stone fruits make the first impression on the palate, showcasing peach, nectarine, and a hint of apricot. It displays a zesty vibrance and liveliness, with acidity beautifully counterbalancing the fruit’s succulence. Poised and well-structured, both oak and lees contribute subtly to its mouthfeel. Seamless and rewarding, the gentle honey
