Kanonkop Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

It’s not as famous as Paul Sauer, but Kanonkop’s Cabernet Sauvignon often runs it close in terms of quality. This is a subtle, deceptively forward red with detailed tannins, mint and fynbos aromas, deftly integrated 50% new wood, bright acidity and flavours of cassis and summer berries. Drink date: 2025-2035. Score – 95. (Tim Atkin, MW, timatkin.com, South Africa Special Report 2024)
