A Proprietary Blend wine from Stellenbosch in South Africa. 2008 Mulderbosch Faithful Hound 750ml

Enticing aromas of blackcurrant, mulberry, coffee, and spice lead to intense flavors of ripe plum, blackberry, and licorice enhanced by signature Bordeaux notes of tobacco, forest floor and graphite.

This wine displays a deep ruby colour. Blackcurrant, coffee, nutmeg, all spice, forest floor and mulberry aromas entice the nose. This follows through on the palate together with ripe plum, intense blackberry and voluptuous vanillins giving the wine great structure and complexity.

Glossy ruby color with a cerise rim. A mixed bag of concentrated blackcurrant, coffee, forest-floor fruit and nutmeg aromas. Voluptuous flavors of ripe plum and intense blackberry combine with subtle wood vanillins to give the wine its lovely complexity.

The plum and peppery spice nose of this Bordeaux-style red blend leads into approachable flavors of plum, vanilla oak and currants. The wine offers elegant tannins and a smooth finish.

The ruby-colored 1996 Faithful Hound reveals a spicy, roasted bell pepper and blackberry-scented nose. It is foursquare, somewhat warm, packed with dark berry fruit (including cassis and plum), and has an appealingly long finish. It should be at its best between 2001 and 2004.
