2017 Boekenhoutskloof Cabernet Sauvignon, Franschhoek Valley (6 x Bottle)
The 2017 Franschhoek Cabernet Sauvignon, which is blended with 9% Cabernet Franc, is fermented in concrete and matured using the rotating OXO system in French barriques. It needs a little time to coalesce but eventually offers enticing aromas of mint, juniper and red plummy fruit. The sweet, rich palate is medium-bodied with slightly chewy tannins and strong menthol notes toward the finish, which, to be honest, pales in terms of complexity next to the 2017 Syrah. Not bad, though not the pick from Boekenhoetskloof’s latest releases.
