Information about "Boekenhoutskloof The Chocolate Block Magnum 2023"

Boekenhoutskloof The Chocolate Block Magnum 2023 captivates with its remarkably intricate and seductive bouquet. The nose reveals a rich tapestry of dark blueberries, ripe blackberries, and intriguing notes of black olives, perfume, and dust. Hints of white pepper and coriander seeds add layers of complexity. This medley of dark fruits translates to a lush, full-bodied palate, featuring classic red licorice and fresh cherry nuances. The wine is medium to full-bodied, showcasing a broad, weighty mid-palate, while the mouthfeel remains smooth and velvety. Lively acidity and silky tannins strike a perfect balance, enhancing the wine's elegance, focus, and energy. Echoes of cherry tobacco and exotic spices linger in a pure, dry finish.

Treatment in the cellar

Der gesamte Cabernet Sauvignon reifte in erstbelegten Fässern aus französischer Eiche (Neuholz), während die anderen Sorten separat in zweit- sowie drittbefüllten französischen Barriques reifen durften. Verschiedene Fässer und Grössen, von 2500 Liter foudres für Cinsault und Syrah und 600 Liter demi-muids für den Grenache Noir. Alle Weine verbrachten eine Gesamtzeit von 13 - 16  Monaten in Barriques, bevor sie verschnitten wurden und der Blend leicht verfeinert und filtriert zum Genuss auf die Flasche gefüllt wurde.
