Dear *|FNAME|*,
2021 is ‘by far the best vintage to date’ enthuses Christian Eedes, awarding the newly released Leeu Passant Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon an epic 96 points! This is a wine of power, ‘faultless structure and poise’.
We tasted the 2021 with Andrea and Chris Mullineux last month, and the excitement in the room was palpable. Focused and seemingly effortless, aromas of crushed bay leaves and cassis give way to cigar, plums, lavender and earthiness on the palate, ending with fine-grained tannins. This is bound to age for decades but has the finesse and generosity to suit earlier drinking.
