Babylonstoren, Nebukadnesar, 2023

Deep, saturated dark ruby colour. Wondrous graphite and cedar element which seamlessly incorporates every other component – brambles, spiced black cherries, blueberries, plums, oregano, thyme, fresh walnuts and a beautiful floral element of violets and pansies. The velvety tannins produce ripples of sappy freshness and bring texture and context to the fruit; sleek, supple and sinuous. This opulent wine befits its royal name and has all the attributes of greatness. Deceptively approachable now but will grow in stature and complexity over the next ten years.
