mehrere Informationen

The Rustenberg Stellenbosch John X Merriman is a powerful wine with deliciously seductive nuances of cassis, a blend of dark fruit and fragrant hints of cigar tobacco and sour cherry. With further storage of the wine, the fine-grained tannins will soften and a hearty palate of uncommon accessibility will emerge. A classically stylish drop for all collectors of great wines!
