A wine made to last, Kanonkop's Cabernet Sauvignon will benefit from further bottle maturation of up to 20 years from the vintage date. A dense, full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon aged for 24 months in oak, showing notes of supple blackcurrant, black plum, cedar wood and spice. These follow on to the palate with additional characteristics of pencil shavings, tea leaf and molasses, balanced with a good acidity, integrated, ripe tannins and a lingering finish.

Tim Atkin: 95 points.
