Badenhorst Family Wines A.A. Badenhorst Red 2017

The 2017 vintage (the 12th release of the Family Red) surpassed expectations in terms of quality and fruit expression. It will be quite reserved in its youth, but expect it to mature very well. The tannins are prominent, well intergrated and refreshing as a number of the parcels were picked quite early.

The aromas are brooding but with complex notes of pepper, liquorice, perfume and black cherries. The palate entry is dense with lavender and dark berry fruit. The finish is dry with well spread tannins ending with savory and currant flavors.
