Idiom ‘B’ – Bordicon Blend 2021
R600.00
Full and complex. A multi-clone blend of five noble varietals. Explosive and evolving aromas of dark ripe red plums, tea leaf and cigar box are followed by hints of pencil shavings, tobacco and 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 (49%), Merlot (17%), Cabernet Franc (17%), Petit Verdot (8%), Malbec (9%).
