Tasting Notes:
Appearance: The wine is deep ruby red in color

Nose: The aroma is rich and inviting, featuring notes of boysenberry, dark cherry, violets, rose petals, and exotic spices.

Palate: The flavor is complex and well-balanced, with notes of ripe plums, black currant, dried cranberries, and blueberries. It has hints of cured meat and espresso, adding depth to the round, silky mid-palate. The mouth-coating texture of dark milk chocolate is balanced with fine, powdery tannins and fresh yet integrated acidity.

Overall: Boekenhoutskloof The Chocolate Block 2022 is a medium-bodied, elegant wine with licorice and subtle hints of crushed coriander and black cardamom lingering on a smooth, soft finish. It is perfect for pairing with steaks, burgers, roast chicken, and veal chops. Serve it at around 16-18°C (60-64°F) for the best experience.
