Description
The Boschendal 1685 S&M 2016 has a deep, dark ruby color. On the nose, it displays inviting aromas of ripe blackberries, dark cherries, and plums, intertwined with hints of pepper, spice, and dried herbs. There are also subtle notes of vanilla, smoked meat, and a touch of oak. On the palate, this wine is medium to full-bodied, with flavors of ripe black fruit, dark chocolate, and a hint of licorice. The wine’s tannins are well-structured and silky, complemented by a balanced acidity that adds freshness. The finish is long, with lingering notes of spice, black pepper, and a hint of earthiness.
Food Pairing
This wine pairs well with a variety of hearty and flavorful dishes. It is an excellent match for grilled meats such as lamb chops, beef steaks, and pork ribs. It also complements rich stews, such as beef bourguignon or lamb tagine, and works well with spicy sausages and barbecue. Hard cheeses like aged cheddar, gouda, and Manchego also make good pairing options, highlighting the wine’s fruit and spice character.
