Excellent 2015 Margaret River medium aged Chardonnay more in Burgundy style with minerality showing thru and melon and stone fruits on palate. Produced purposefully to be less oaky and buttery and the class shows through. — 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. — 2 months ago

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 — a month ago

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 👍
