Nederburg Limited Edition Italian Blend

2003

Beautiful light garnet colour with subtle orange rim variation. Light fragrance combined with fresh acidity and fine tannin of the Italian varietals persist after long term ageing, although the flavour profile is mature, and also quite herbal. The acidity, low alcohol and light fruit intensity is giving a sensation of freshness on the palate that has grippy tannins and a tangy finish. This would have been very austere and on the green side in its youth, but now looks elegantly mature.
