One of the most incredible noses I’ve had in a long time. Crazy amount of tropical fruit to complement the deep amber color. Beautiful persistence on the palate with perfect acid to keep it all together. Really quite a wine and a pleasure to drink. — 4 years ago
Tons of red fruit aromas, a medium weight and very structured body with round fruit and present tannins. A typical old world GSM per the boy here at Nouvelle Bar & Bottle. Cheers Louisville! — 10 months ago
March 17, 2021. Spontaneous tasting w/ C — South African reds, Bordeaux blends. Whoa! This full bodied powerhouse is 57% Merlot, 38% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% pinotage. Aromas of Cocoa, coffee, deep black fruit. Lots of old leather, cocoa on the palate. Unfiltered w/ lots of sediment, so not a good coravin candidate. Double decanted, then purchased the last 5 bottles available on Vivino. 15% alcohol so go slow. — 3 years ago

Wednesday Wine Committee. 1 sparkler, 3 whites, 4 reds and 1 dessert wine. Blind as usual.
One of the better South African wines I’ve had. Michael Rolland consulted. Someone stated it well...it was like a clean/less barnyard driven Bordeaux. Cherry vanilla pipe tobacco, bay leaf, old black cherries up front, with tartness and herbal twang at the finish. I guessed this was a Chilean Cab. — 5 years ago
