Mulderbosch Faithful Hound – South Africa

Deep black cherry color penetrating from hue to rim. A surfeit of blackcurrant/cassis blueberry jam and plum fruit alongside souboise graphite vanilla pod tobacco and cedar wood typical of a classical styled cabernet-based blend. Full body showing a grainy texture with mid palate richness fresh fruits as nose amalgamated with boysenberry damson fruitcake coffee bean and dried herbs (clove ansise) that finish with a powdery tannin that will need a few more years to resolve and long length making one esurient for another glass. 90 points- wine enthusiast
