The Great Heart Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon flows into the glass in deep garnet red, caressing the nose with attractive aromas of elderberry and red currant leaf. The broad mid-palate is enveloped by immensely silky tannins and complexly layered nuances of plum, graphite and pomegranate that fade into a smoothly fading and long finish, rounded out beautifully by notes of fine mulberry coulis and a hint of cocoa.
