Idiom ‘B’ – Bordicon Blend 2018

R600.00

Full and complex. A multi-clone blend of five noble varietals. Explosive and evolving aromas of ripe red currants, tea leaves, and cigar boxes are followed by hints of cinnamon, tobacco, and the trademark cassis character. A serious, tightly packed wine with a long lingering finish. A wine of great pedigree that will reward cellaring. Decanting recommended.

Cabernet Sauvignon (60%), Cabernet Franc (20%), Merlot (10%), Malbec (5%), Petit Verdot (5%)
