This is the Bordeaux Right Bank version of Icellars. It delivers more elegance and finesse than it's Cab Sauv counterpart, Wiyana Wanda. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003eThis 2016 is concentrated and layered, but extremely soft and silky.

The tannins are super soft and integrated. The oak is at the very perfect place from start to finish. The length and complexity is at a really high level. Flavours include blueberry jam, black macerated cherries, black tea, and dark chocolate. The oak spices are developing past the mid-palate with Christmas-cake like flavours and vanilla custard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003eOne of the best wines in the Icellars portfolio, and at the current price point, it way over-delivers!
