Muratie The Senator Cape Late Bottled Vintage Port 2016

The Senator Cape Late Bottled Vintage Port Floral notes of violets and roses entice the bouquet along with a concentration of Christmas spice and plum pudding. Each sip is deeply rich, with flavours ranging from Kirsch-macerated black cherries, truffles, tobacco to dark chocolate- enrobed hazelnuts. There are also savoury undertones in the after taste. With brisk acidity and warming alcohol in harmony with the malleably powerful structure. Seamlessly integrated, this world-class wine should reward contemplation for at least another two decades. Sir Walter Ernest Mortimer Stanford KBE CB CMG bought Muratie in 1908 and lived here until September 1911. Stanford entered the Cape Legislative Assembly in 1908 as an independent member for Tembuland and was selected to represent the views of the African people at the National Convention of 1909, which led to the Union of South Africa.
