Glenelly Lady May 2017 Wine Review

Natalie's Score: 95/100

From the Stellenbosch wine region, Glenelly Lady May 2017 is an elegant, dry, medium-plus-bodied, Cabernet Sauvignon-driven red wine blend with splashes of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot added to the mix (90%/6%/4%). Lady May is Glenelly’s flagship estate wine and this vintage pays tribute to the pedigree of its legendary owner, May De Lencquesaing. Fragrant with blue florals, ripe dark fruits and mineral notes on the nose, the wine is lush, silky and seamless with ripe black fruit, cocoa, flinty and piney notes finishing long with a smoky vanilla kiss on the palate. Really well put together and with great finesse, Drink or hold to the end of the decade.

Food pairings: grilled game burgers, meat lover's pizza, bobtje.
