About this Item

2001 Fusion V
6 (1 x 6) 750ml

The iconic Left Bank based blend from De Toren. Named for the 'fusing' together of Bordeaux's five famous varietals (Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Merlot and Malbec). The Fusion V celebrated its maiden vintage in 1999 and was introduced to the international markets. Under the guidance of Albie Koch this Bordeaux left-bank inspired blend has accumulated an energised and praised following from wine aficionados both in South Africa and abroad (especially in the US).

Critics Ratings

'Liquorice, bramble, sundried tomato stew. Ripe and chunky, this is bigger than the 99. Still structured, but also shows some tertiary character. Drink before the 1999.' - Higgo Jacobs, 91/100 (Feb 2021)

'Fresher and with more power than 2003, quite refined in fruit and very elegant. Big shouldered and powerful on the finish with succulent sweet and spicy fruit. Drink now to 2028' - Roland Peens (Feb 2021)
