Description

3 bottles of Meerlust Estate Rubicon, Stellenbosch 2013 stored at The Wine Society.

First made in 1980, Rubicon was one of the first ‘Bordeaux’ blends produced in the Cape. Here, 67% cabernet sauvignon, 14% merlot, 12% cabernet franc and 7% petit verdot make a classically framed wine, with youthful damson and tobacco aromas, and vigorous, spiced dark fruit supported by well-integrated chalky tannins. Drink window to 2033 - The Wine Society.


92/100 - Robert Parker

The 2013 Rubicon classic expression of this iconic Cape wine. Very deep, youthful colour, and intense almost purple hue. Very classic Rubicon nose with violets, ripe plum, cedar wood and intense spiciness. A typical liquorice note and stony minerality also evident on the nose. Still youthful and intense, promising further maturation potential. The palate is full bodied, structured by beautifully sleek, ripe tannins which restrain the vibrant dark fruit typical of this vintage, giving the wine an opulent texture which is kept focused by the linear acidity. The wine lingers on the palate with creamy fruit mouthfiilling tannins.
