This might just be one of the best wines to come out of the Konzelmann cellar -
and that is saying something :
Konzelmann 2016 Family Reserve Cabernet-Merlot
Already 6 years from vintage date (at time of writing) and this wine is drinking in accordance with how a 6-year-old red blends from a hot vintage should. Smokey-black cherry, vanilla oak, cassis, blackberry and even a cedarish finish that adds black fruit tannins into the mix. It's a straight-forward bottle of deliciousness with another four years, easily, ahead of it, maybe more. Rating: ****+
