Ernie Els Limited Release 2005
Stellenbosch, Coastal Region, South AfricaImpressive black colour at seven years and a wildly fruity, spicy Christmas cake nose. The attack is soft and round, ready, if you like to drink, but it will hold on for another decade easily. Look for a mix of red fruits with earthy, resiny, spicy, vanilla notes and just a dusting of dry tannins in the back end. An elegant red style reminiscent of a decade or two ago despite its 15-plus degrees of alcohol that is just beginning to come into its own. The perfect match would be a classic roast beef dish.Tasted: 06 November 2012Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $75.00 | 750ml | |
