CAPE MENTELLE Shiraz 1998

Still showing a very deep colour ,aging gently. The nose has strong meaty aroma's, initially reminding me of bolognese sauce, spice and the perfume of violets are also present. The palate is initially savoury with sweet blackberry and dark plum fruit revealing themselves with a little time, again violets and hints of spice also come through. The wine is delicious and will live for many years.
