Rustenberg Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon 2023

Fruity at first with notes of cassis, blackberries and dark plums kicking in. Some wafers and dried leaves, too. Medium body with plush tannins. Fruity and creamy with a slightly grippy texture at the edges and a generous core of berries in the finish. Drink or hold [into early 2030s]. (jamessuckling.com,Oct. 19, 2023)
