Black fruits, drying tannin, much bigger and more extracted than the preceding wines. Even though this is the oldest wine poured, it’s the least open today — 2 days ago

Black cherry and spice, lifted aromatics. This showed as much more complex and open than the ‘17 tasted a few days earlier at a restaurant — 2 days ago

8.6

Stone fruit, tropical fruit, juicy, dry extract, bit of alcohol showing. Even though this has “cool climate” in its name it shows riper and hotter than other SA chenins tasted on this trip. When ice cold I liked it more, but gets flabbier and less balanced as it warms — a day ago

Transparent ruby, light and pretty wine with bright red fruits. Needs a light chill. Great QPR — 2 days ago
