Boekenhoutskloof Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Stellenbosch
R600
‘Similar svelte lines as Franschhoek sibling, with touch more concentration & structure in stellar 2022. Helderberg & Polkadraai parcels give dark cherry & berry with graphite top note, judicious oak, 22 months, 60% new, plays off plush fruit before dry conclusion. For the deepest part of the cellar.’ - Platter’s Guide, 5* (96/100)
‘Gottfried Mocke's Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon has more grip, muscle and minerality than the Franschhoek bottling, and comes from a Lower Helderberg site close to the Polkadraai Hills. Inky and well-structured, it has layers of blueberry and blackberry, a waft of graphite and dried herbs and deftly integrated 60% new oak. 2026-35’ - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2024, 95/100
‘Bold, ripe, juicy and swaggering, this roguish Pauillac-dimensioned wine counterpoints the grace and elegance of its sibling Cab with visible definition rippling through its garments. There is harmony from the off, which, again, belies its age, further demonstrating that bigger, more showy styles can still be crafted with innate balance if you have the skills, and the Dastardly Duo can do this with their eyes shut.’ - Matthew Jukes, matthewjukes.com, 18.5+/20
‘This is plush and delicious, showing notes of dark plums, dark chocolate, graphite, violets and some mocha. It’s full-bodied, polished and full of flavor, with ripe and fine-grained tannins. Classy, fresh and long finish. Drink or hold.’ – James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com, 94/100
