Leeu Passant Wellington Old Vines Basson Cinsault 2024 Mullineux

Professionele reviews

Vinous (93)

The 2024 Cinsault Wellington Old Vines Basson comes from vines planted in 1900. It is aged in 500-litre French oak and terracotta amphora for 24 months. It has a perfumed bouquet with redcurrant and dark berry fruit, rose petal and fynbos in the background. Wonderful delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, dark berry fruit mixed with graphite and light tobacco notes and a gentle grip, with an understated and transparent finish. Leans more to the austere side of the grape variety in a wholly positive fashion.
