Tasting note
May de Lencquesaing, former owner of Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande, began Glenelly in 2003 at the age of 78. The estate is known for crafting wines of elegance that offer a distinctly South African expression with a certain Bordeaux-like je ne sais quoi. The 2010 is an impressive, deliciously balanced wine with great integration of all parts - it offers superb black fruit, cherry and cassis in a concentrated and structured package. This is a wine of significance at an incredible value. (Vintages panel, June 2016)
Ruby in colour, this red boasts a intense nose exuding woody, empyreumatic and fruity aromas. Discover this full-bodied wine expressing light acidity and offering a broad texture and firm tannins. It also unveils a intense mouthfeel that leads into a long finish.
