2016 Oldenburg Rhodium, Rondekop Series, South Africa

Showing a deep, luxurious garnet colour, this wine promises a complexity
and lushness. Shy at first, the inviting nose opens in the glass and the wine
unfolds to deliver waves of sandalwood, blackcurrant, violets, nutmeg,
cherry tobacco, rosemary and lavender. Hints of liquorice and juicy black
fruit follows through on the palate, with mouth-watering acidity and
plushy tannins. Braised plums, brambles and luscious cherries complete
the flavour profile. A fabulous wine that will benefit from ageing for
another 10 – 12 years at the very least.
