De Toren Fusion V 2017 3L
De Toren Fusion V 2017 – A plethora of flavours is introduced upon the approach to this classic Bordeaux styled wine. The almost edible depth created by the dark, intensive colour compels you towards further investigation. The nose is characterised by strong ripe, black fruits along with tones of nougat, cherries, liquorice and cedar showcasing a compelling display of dark, ripe elegance. A subtle minerality reminiscence of the Cabernet Sauvignon’s dominance, reminds of hot, river stones. This perfectly balanced melody of fruit, oak and lush ripe tannins ensures another remarkable vintage, which raises the curtain for great longevity. Definitely the phantom of this Opera!

Tasting Notes
The exquisitely expressive De Toren Fusion V 2017 unveils intense aromas of juicy red cherries and ripe blueberries. It further compels with supporting nuances of perfume, creamy notes of cassis and an understated, underlining chalky minerality. The wine is beautifully textured, with detailed fruit flavours of creamy blackberries. Dense, yet vibrant the wine lingers with soft, fine grain tannins inviting one’s senses for the next sip. The preceding vintage of this ‘Left-Bank’ Bordeaux-style blend, have been rated a stellar 94 Points by the esteemed 2019 Platter’s Wine Guide.
With finely integrated oak flavours, this Platinum awarded wine, as granted by the South African Wine Index, has an exquisitely stylish departure. Enjoyment of this vintage will be multiplied with a few years of ageing in your cellar.
