Cederberg, V Generations Cabernet Sauvignon, 2020

Always a winner in the Cederberg stable. A blast of blackcurrant and red fruit, with hints of pepper and some floral aromatics. Very well balanced with tannins that beautifully support the fruit in the wine.  Only 6,700 bottles have been produced and this was left to mature in 225l barrels for 18 months. It is approachable now, decant for the best result, but will age gracefully over the decade. Now - 2029

Great choice of good-value wines in the January sales. The website is really easy to use to make up an order. Delivery, as is often the case, was within 24 hours and, as usual, was well-packed.
