Product information "Kanonkop Paul Sauer 2016"
The Kanonkop Paul Sauer is an absolute classic, since 1981 the undisputed flagship of the Kanonkop Winery. Its complex bouquet of cassis, plum and sweet spices as well as fine hints of tobacco, cedar wood and cigar box conquers the nose. On the palate it is rich and generous with delicious nuances of juicy red fruits and a black fruit core. Seamlessly integrated tannins and a finely balanced acidity with fine oak wood nuances provide pleasure on a high level. A first-class red wine blend of extraordinary grace and elegance.
