Interesting wine. Very sweet almost jammy sensation at first, reminding me of a Zinfandel, but it it set my palate to the point that it became more balanced with darker dryer undernotes. It was very balanced and focused. Good acidity and fine integrated tannins, so we kept drinking it and we’re actually sad when it was all gone. — 8 months ago

Driven by gorgeous extraction, texture and phenolics. Tasting blind I’d be clueless. It starts with an extremely intense nose of compressed green apple skins, compressed green pear, super concentrated yet super fresh phenolics. Palate shows off the supreme texture, so viscous but not lingering, gets taken over by a phenolic bite and a lingering acid-driven finish. What an outstanding effort! (I found out post-tasting that is has new oak, unsurprising but so we’ll integrated that I missed it) — 9 months ago

Deep purple in color with a short reddish rim.
Pretty nose with cedar, vanilla, wild flowers, chocolates, coffee and black pepper.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity.
Showing black fruits with cedar, earth, herbs, black pepper, light vanilla, spices, dark chocolates and tobacco leaf.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and cherries.
This is a tasty red blend from South Africa. Soft and smooth with nice complexity. Nicely balanced with a soft mouthfeel.
Needed 4 hours to open up properly, so be patient.
