Kanonkop Cabernet Sauvignon 2018, Stellenbosch

5 stars (95 points) Platter's 2023 South African Wine Guide - "Cape classic released a year later than Paul Sauer, needing time to show its best. Dark & brooding 2018 has aristocratically austere edge to its cassis & cigarbox notes & full-flavoured generosity. Absorbs 50% new oak easily; big tannins not even formidable in youth."
