Bilton Matt Black 2006

3 1/2 Starz - John Platter's South African Wine Guide - Impressive. Neat tailored profile, classically dry; an everyday blend with attitude.

Tasting Notes

A Red Blend that is complex with a lovely deep garnet color that explodes with flavours of berries & cherries. The Petit Verdot adds the lovely spice, while the Cabernet Sauvignon the meatiness. The well-rounded palate rewards with mellow ripe tannins overflowing into a long lingering aftertaste of dark chocolate.

Food Accompaniments

Lovely Spiced Chicken dishes – Roasted duck and will be especially good with any Alfredo Pasta dishes Any red meat dishes but not game.
