Babylonstoren 'Nebukadnesar', Simonsberg-Paarl 2022

46% cabernet sauvignon, 25% merlot, 14% cabernet franc, 10% petit verdot, and 5% malbec. 

Superbly crafted with a good balance of vibrant multilayered dark red fruits supported by tight, wellhoned tannins. Handles the oak effortlessly. Opulent yet sophisticated with a long, compelling finish. Satisfying now, but with time will develop and unfold its many treasures.
