In the glass, this red wine from Boschendal reveals aromas of plums and sour cherries, complemented by coffee/mocha. The Boschendal Nicolas 1.5 l Magnum delights with its elegantly dry taste profile. It was bottled with only 2.5 grams of residual sugar. As one would expect from an icon wine in this segment, this South African, despite all its dryness, naturally enchants with the finest balance. Aroma does not necessarily require residual sugar. On the palate, the texture of this powerful red wine presents itself as wonderfully silky. Thanks to the balanced acidity, the Nicolas 1.5 l Magnum caresses the palate with a soft feel, without lacking freshness.
