A Taste of 25 Years – Collectors release from the Bührer Family Library.
The Saxenburg Private Collection Pinotage 1995 is still bright red in colour, this wine has aged with grace. Upon opening, it is somewhat earthy (think forest floor and mushrooms) in profile, but with time this dissipates to reveal lovely blue and red berries. These are complemented by notes of coffee beans, fresh tomatoes and a herbal edge. The palate is light and fresh but has maintained beautifully finely grained and soft tannins. Decant before serving.
Limited Release:
Only 30 bottles available.
These extraordinary wines, have been stored and matured under optimal conditions in our Vinotéque, for you to get the very best out of your fine wine experience.
