Tasting Notes

The Warwick Estate First Lady 2009 has a deep and intense ruby red colour. The nose reveals lots of red berries and sweet black cherries, complemented by sweet vanilla and chocolate oak background. The smooth, ripe, round tannins make this wine easy to drink while still retaining a full body. The balanced acid creates a firm finish that is complemented by a lingering sweetness. Although accessible now this wine will improve with careful cellaring over the next 3 years. -alcohol 13.95%--Tasting notes by winemaker Jozua Joubert 25.06.11
