I’m a real fan of Nederburg wines and unfortunately we don’t seem to get a large selection of them here in Australia. This Cabernet Sauvignon from 2006 doesn’t live up to the 2004 version, but it does taste a bit young to me, where the 2004 version is about perfect now.

Colour: Dark Ruby.
Bouquet: Berry fruit mingled with chocolate and mocha, and soft oak vanilla in the background.
Palate: A full-bodied wine with ripe fruit and delicate oak spices, firm tannins and a lingering aftertaste.
Serve with robust dishes from pâtés to steaks, as well as full-bodied dishes such as beef stroganoff, winter stews, roasts and mature cheeses.

I’m going to pick up another couple of bottles of this red as I think in two years time it will be just as good, if not better, than its 2004 predecessor.
