Mvemve Raats De Compostella 2014 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Stellenbosch
R1,850
‘Richly layered, but suave rather than bombastic, with fine-grained tannins giving subtle support to the core of warm cassis, raspberry coulis and plum confiture notes. Offers a gorgeous backdrop of smoldering tobacco, presenting a loamy echo through the finish. Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. 2018-2024.’ – James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 93/100
‘(one-third new oak aging): Dark ruby. Sexy musky scents of black cherry, cassis, black berry, licorice, pepper and wild herbs. Plush, ripe, sweet and savory, offering serious depth to its flavors of black fruits and woodsmoke. This wonderfully energetic wine really echoes on the finish. With its tannins well supported by fruit, this clever blend has the structure for a graceful evolution. 2019-2027’ – Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, 91+/100
