Information about "Franschhoek Cellar The Last Elephant 2017"
The Boschendal 1685 Merlot exudes the nose with beguiling aromas of red cherries, ripe blueberries and plum, combined with a seductive hint of vanilla and expressive nuances of lush dark chocolate. On the palate, the already sniffed aromas continue, accompanied by refined wood tannins, intense fruit and great length. An elegant "cool climate" wine with multi-faceted complexity!

Abschlieβend reifte der Wein vor Herausgabe noch weitere 24 Monaten in der Flasche.
