Get to know: KWV The Mentors Orchestra 2019
Tasting Note
Another fantastic wine from the skilled winemakers at KMV. This modern, multi-layered and Bordeaux-style blend shows aromas of blackcurrants, blueberries, plums, and black cherries with nuances of pencil shavings and dried herbs. On the palate, there are layers of sweet fruit with intense concentration supported by a firm tannin structure and excellent length on the expressive finish. It delivers a complexity beyond the sum of its parts.
This would be superb with a braised lamb shoulder.
