A classic blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc, this wine is the culmination of the Myburgh family's dream of making a truly remarkable Bordeaux-style wine. Meerlust Rubicon is well-balanced with a cigar box and spicy tobacco bouquet. Smooth, firm tannins provide structure and depth with excellent aging potential. Ultra dark, intense, opaque & concentrated. Very youthful with cerise rim. Exuberant cassis fruit on the nose, black cherry, blackcurrant & nettle-bush followed by cigar box. Full bodied with a concentrated fruit core wrapped by lush, sleek tannins and an earthy minerality.

Vinification techniques: The LBV 2000 is a traditional LBV, the grapes being pressed by foot. The wine is not heated or cooled and is unfiltered. This ensures that the grape's full potential is released, as well as providing greater ageing potential. Sensory Appreciation: Colour: An intense, almost opaque red. Aroma/nose: Intense, very elegant and attractive. An exuberant bouquet of forest fruits and fruit preserves. Palate: Fresh and velvety at first. Quite fruity, with a fine background of smooth, silky tannins. Aftertaste: Long and involving, lingering on the palate for some time. Ageing: Aged for four years in used oak casks and vats. Bottling: Bottled four years after harvesting - March 2005. Ageing potential: Promises excellent development in the bottle, but also delightful if drunk now. The wine is not filtered, and is liable to form a deposit. Food pairing: Combines well with most full-fat cheeses. Serving suggestions: Open several hours before serving and decant, if possible. Conservation in private cellars: Lay the bottle on its side in a cool shaded location.
