Catherine Marshall Peter's Vision Bordeaux Blend 2017 (TA 93)

Tim Atkin MW 93 points.

(Elgin Valley, South Africa)

TASTING NOTES:
Classic, restrained elegance with a mouth filling fruit core and is seamlessly poised with pronounced aromatics of fresh black plums, mulberries, violets and pencil shaving minerality.

Tannins are supple and well structured with fresh acidity to support an opulent mid palate for texture and balance.

PHILOSOPHY:
The approach is classic restraint based on the Bordeaux’s right bank blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc and is styled around the bright fruit paradigm where both varieties are grown in a cool, maritime climate prevailing in the Elgin Valley.

Upfront red and black fruit aromatics are driven by careful and meticulous viticulture husbandry to maximise ripening of tannins without compromising fruit freshness.
