At first somewhat shy and unleashed, but with and hour in the decanter and some time in the glass the curtains fall and the shows begin. Ripe but taut fruit profile and well placed and balanced secondary aromas with a neat supporting oak profile is proving the good craftsmanship from a great wine maker. — 6 days ago

Doing the job and walking the mile, showing some dept and complexity with a well placed oak profile and a fresh but ripe fruit character. well balanced throughout a good finish without loosing any backbone. Lacking somewhat in intensity and length. — 18 days ago

Outstanding with more to come. Large portion of complexity is tightly structure within the sharp backbone with a fine beaded and elegant mousse and a great fatigue. Great evolvement in the glass. Still acting youthful and unleashed, time will benefit this creation with a broader and creamier texture to come. — a month ago

High quality throughout, the wine is showing both provenance, and structure with developing complexity in the glass and a long balanced finish. Drinks well, and there’s no need to wait, even though it will continue to develop complexity for another five years or so. — a month ago

Ripe Nebbiolo fruit in the forefront with good varietal character and a decent earty complexity. Balanced and good structure with defined, but approachable tannins, lacking somewhat in intensity and length. — 9 days ago

Marked by a magic touch from one of South Africa’s “it-producers”; Duncan Savage. The 16 Savage Red is a Syrah based (81%) southern Rhône blend, large oak and plenty of love, hands off spot on is the recipe and the result is wonderful; Dense and concentrated fruit profile, with savory notes of cured meat and a granite like minerality. Drinks well already, but there is more to come int this one. — 13 days ago

Easy going and ever so enjoyable to drink. Red fruit is in the foreground with floral and some spicy notes backing it up. Balanced with a good structure and length. Some earthy complexity is developing in the glass which stimulates the more serious wine drinker. — a month ago

Just as baffled as every time when stripping down a bottle of Miani; how the heck is this possible…!? ’15 Chardonnay; Big, bold and broad shouldered but with a vibrant and linear freshness to it, with its trade mark electric minerality, both on the nose and the palate. Hitting all the clusters with full power in complete balance thanks to the sharp and vibrant mineral backbone . The 14.5 (!) % abv is barely being noticed, more than acting as a supporting role in the unity by providing even further structure throughout the finish. A powerlifter that is out-dancing the ballerina. Rating is conservative... — 13 days ago

A very good quality wine, showing both Provenance and dept with a defined souboise character. The concentrated fruit profile going from red to darker fruit with time in the glass. In its early stage of development with enough primary fruit and structure to continue and upward going curve for another 5+ years. — 18 days ago

As always with Miani, an extraordinary show, well beyond Grand Cru quality. Developing complexity, balanced and a long finish. Dense and broad, with a sharp en linear structure with its trademark electric and salty minerality on the mid palate. The wine provides such a drinking experience today, but with the structure and intensity that’s provided, I can only imagine that this will have a long life ahead...and I will keep wondering if this man have a limit on what’s possible.. — a month ago
