Ernie Els 2005

3200

The fruit from the aroma follows through onto a seductive mid-palate, supported by a silky mineral feel with hints of oak and backed by a sweet tannin finish. This wine offers great middle palate complexity with a lingering spicy finish. Drink now through to 2015. Four points in wine spectator, double gold veritas and gold decanter medal.
