RUST EN VREDE
1694 Classification Stellenbosch 2006
93 points / $110 / 100 cases imported / Red
Impressive, large-scaled wine that offers loads of currant paste, braised fig, beef, roasted earth, tar and graphite notes, all backed by grilled herb, aged tobacco and bittersweet cocoa on the finish. Very dense, but the fruit and tug of earth should merge fully with cellaring. Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon. Best from 2010 through 2013. – J.M.
