Rust en Vrede Cabernet Sauvignon 2009 - Stellenbosch, SA
24€; 14,5% abv. A bit ho hum. But I seem to be saying that about most Cabernet Sauvignon these days, no matter where it comes from (though Francly I can't have enough of the other Cab!). A bit oaky - not too much so, though in a young wine it of course shows. Loam, dark fruit, blackcurrant and its leaf aromas - so I guess this counts as what I used to call a nice Cab Sauv until I grew bored with them. Quite thick palate, a bit over-sized IMO for the grape and thus veers towards a sweeter, jammier than I found ideal. A bit hot on the finish. Not really my type of wine.
