Bosman Erfenis, W.O. Wellington, 2017

This is Bosman’s flagship wine, an unusual blend of equal parts of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cinsault with 20% Nero d’Avola, with 30% first- and second-fill oak barrel regime. Still a youthful, deep opaque ruby appearance. It has nicely poised medium-intensity aromas of smoke, wool, cassis and blackberry preserves, black soil and a floral note. It is dry on the palate with a medium acidity. A medium-plus extract and soft-textured tannin amount to a medium-plus body. It displays a lovely length and fruit with creamy, char, prune spread and floral components and a long finish. Shows a nice pedigree. 2024-2028–IR
