Upon opening I was totally skeptical & unconvinced. Blind I guessed Pinotage (for which I have a strong dislike).
Came across disjointed, with a rubbery whiff, a tad funky.
Fast forward24h, this is a completely different wine.
Lovely red fruit purity, with green bell pepper and some herby, peppery notes. Fresh, pure, juicy.
Mid weight on the palate with beautifully polished tannins and nice poise. This wine is subtle, resting in itself, with nice purity and good depth. The long finish is clean, fresh, and immediately invites for another sip.
A surprising & humbling bottle. — 10 days ago

The best bottle of this vintage I’ve had. Was less wooly and I had no fears of it being too old. Gorgeous kinda toned down gewurz profile. And a very elegant texture. — 6 years ago

Pop and pour. 1 hr slow ox. On the nose: macerated red fruit, soft musky perfume, a touch of vegetal...perfumed cab franc. On the palate: lovely acidity and density, more red fruit, a touch of very soft charcoal, ash and macerated cherry on the slightly chalky and bitter finish. Lovely right now, but clearly potential to improve with age. — 2 years ago

Very complex, herbal-fruit character like crataegus, peach, tender rosemary or lavender leaf. Fantastic long creamy but gracile mineral taste!!! Kind of calcareous, but tender with flowers, nuts and herbs
