2009 Optima
Posted: 11:06 Sat 02 May 2015
From Anthonij Rupert in Franschoek. A blend of Cab Sauv, Merlot and Cab Franc. Deep red, still youthful looking. More restrained on the nose that some other wines tasted this evening but showing blackcurrant and cedar. Also restrained on entry but then bringing delicious fruit on the mid-palate. More fruit-forward and less tannic in structure that the Synchronicity shown alongside and with a delicious lingering finish. 90/100. Drunk 25-Mar-15.
