Boekenhoutskloof Franschhoek Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
Description
Le nom de ce vin fait référence à un arbre indigène du Cap très apprécié pour la fabrication de meubles raffinés. Sur l'étiquette du vin, on peut voir sept chaises historiques qui rendent hommage au savoir-faire des artisans du XVIIIe siècle dans la création d'une beauté issue de sources naturelles. Un parallèle intéressant pour ce vin rouge, produit principalement à partir de Cabernet sauvignon et d'un petit pourcentage de Cabernet franc. Expressif, concentré, élégant et persistant.

L'avis des experts
The Boekenhoutskloof 2022 Franschhoek Cabernet Sauvignon is cut with a small 15% Cabernet Franc and sees almost all (90%) new oak. The grapes come from a vineyard site fitted into a narrow ravine, and it gets quite cool at night and very hot during the day. The area requires a longer ripening period because more shade is thrown by the nearby mountains in Stellenbosch. Meanwhile, the False Bay side of the vineyard is influenced by ocean weather patterns, and there are extreme temperature drops or diurnal shifts. The soils are very old with decomposed quartz. This wine is soft, round and very pleasurable with lots of heft and flavor on the mid-palate. There is a hint of dried spice and sweet cinnamon. Both these Cabernet Sauvignons promise long cellar aging. In fact, the winery has a late-release program, and I believe they are pouring the 2001 right now.
A blend of fruit from two Franschhoek growers and Boekenhoutskloof's own organic estate vineyards – also home to the 10% Cabernet Franc included in the blend. Gentle vinification and prolonged malolactic fermentation in French barriques, followed by 22 months in barrel (95% new). Harmonious black fruit aromatics peppered with graphite and garrigue. Made with an Old World precision, there's coiled power on the palate; dark fruit is laced with spice, with notes of dark chocolate, dried herbs and cedary oak on the long finish. Great ageing potential here.
Ripe blue and black fruit on the nose, alongside dried herb, licorice and mint chocolate. Creamy and velvety, with a full body, but also minty freshness throughout. Silky tannins. Drink or hold.
