A change in style from previous Blackwell’s with little oak showing and trying to produce less oaky SA Shiraz, a much welcomed change, but it still has great fruit and structure, delicious on nose and palate.
Long finish.
Bravo to the winemaker for this new direction for a classic Australian Shiraz — 3 days ago

Plenty of personality on the nose, inviting and welcoming. Clean and fresh in the mouth and has very good balance and is pleasurable. Integrated and silky tannins give depth and lingering finish. Liked it a lot. — a month ago

Steely Chardonnay in a Chablis way, excellent mineral elements to the fore
A long lingering finish and very moorish sitting in the afternoon winter sun 🌞 — 4 months ago

Had at a new Italian restaurant called Civico 47 which used to be Lucio’s for 35 odd years, old Lucio would be happy it’s still a high quality Italian restaurant. — 3 days ago

I preferred Mt Pleasant much better under McWilliams ownership, single vineyard expressions are not as clear cut as they used to be.
1946 Rosehill not as distinct as it used to be.
Sill one on the Hunter’s better wines — a month ago

At 10 years old this Pinotage is hitting its stride, no mustiest on the nose clear and bright garnet in the glass with rich berry flavours on the palate. Fruit and acidity as well as alcohol balance.
A great expression of what South Africa does very well and Kanonkop always delivers. Terrific wine and has at least another 6 years or more to fully mature. — 16 days ago

9.3

A Bordeaux blend, with Cabernet Franc as its foundation It is a blend of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Petit Verdot and Merlot.
Almost opaque with ruby edge in glass and mouth filling. Both rich and elegant with mulberry cigar and graphite hints. Well structured tannins and a delight.
Decanted and wine evolved over next hour or so.
Good stuff 👍
