Rupert & Rothschild Baron Edmond 2020, Stellenbosch, South Africa

£43.50

Baron Edmond is the top cuvee produced by Rupert and Rothschild Vignerons in South Africa using Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Maturation occurs in new French for no less than twenty two months, lending plenty of ageing potential and a prominent smoky character. Historically, Edmond has been bold, richly extracted, incredibly smoky and very intense. However, this wine offers more subtlety, with layers of fruit, spice and delicate smoke.

Delicate aromas of blackberry, blackcurrants, cedar wood and forest floor. Classically structured mouth-feel with a supple texture, complex layers and a focused linearity on the finish. A delicious partner with beef sirloin. The style of Baron Edmond has evolved over the years, from a heavily barrel-influenced blend that was overtly smoky and rich to a more complex, elegant and altogether more sophisticated wine. The 2017 feels so compact and elegant with supple tannins and a beautiful sense of restraint and confidence. It does seem to get better and better with each passing vintage.
