TASTING NOTE:

The 2012 Rubicon is another superb expression of this iconic Cape wine. Very deep and youthful in colour, with an intense almost purple hue. Classic Rubicon on the nose with violets, ripe plum, cedar wood and intense spice notes. A hint of liquorice and stony minerality is also evident on the nose.

The wine is still youthful and intense, promising further maturation potential. The palate is full bodied and structured by beautifully sleek, ripe tannins which restrain the vibrant dark fruit typical of this vintage.
