Chamonix, Troika, Franschhoek, 2017
51% Cabernet Franc, 29% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% each of Merlot and Petit Verdot: 18 months in barrel, 45% new. Deep tone. Vanilla oak notes over berried fruit. Well-structured but not in the least overdone; blackcurrant core leavened with menthol and dark chocolate hints. Some crunch. Excellent now but keeping potential too. Now-2024
“Serious and structured, it’s very much a cool climate style with graphite, fynbos and red berry fruit and firmish, savoury tannins. Up a point since I tasted it last year, this is an appealingly complex cuvée. 94/100. 2021-27” Tim Atkin MW, South Africa Report 2020.
