2010 Rust en Vrede 1694 Classification Red

"‘A blend of 60% Syrah and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon matured entirely in new French oak for 18 months (not that you notice), the 2010 “1694” Classification has a gorgeous, opulent bouquet with pure black cherries, fresh prune and vanilla scents that are very well defined. The palate is medium-bodied with silky smooth tannins, well-judged acidity and a satin-textured finish that is pure class. Now this is how to do top-class Stellenbosch.’" - 93/100 Wine Advocate
