😍😍😍

Dark ruby red with garnet edges. Rich and intense nose coated in roses, vanilla, black fruits and a bit toasted. Heavy tannins (8/10) with high acidity and full bodied. Layered palate with dark berries, leather, toasted oak, spices, cherries, earthiness and well built structure. Long and lingering finish. Drink till 2035 — 9 days ago

Wow, what a beautiful red fruit bomb. To think this could taste so ripe and present after 18 years is almost mind-boggling. Flavors are beautifully integrated. Most pleasant wine-drinking surprise YTD. — 17 days ago

Lush, fruit forward. Candied dates, prunes, clove, roasted character on the front. Gives way to a darker smoked meat character. Was the best with the homemade salad dressing consisting of avocado, fresh basil, Greek yogurt, green onion, garlic and parsley. In a way I could see all of these characteristics in this wine. In the past these have seemed a little tight and a bit closed off on the finish, but this wine was ready for the show. I think this producer is really quite underrated when it comes to the time it takes for these to really start expressing and I would put these up against any of the South African 'first growth' wineries. — 10 days ago

Located on southern slopes of Simonsberg, owned by May-Eliane de Lencquesaing, former owner of Bordeaux Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse. Lemon color with aromas of stone and citrus fruits, adding slight spice. On the palate flavors of ripe apple, pineapple and lemon with nutmeg and smoky toasty notes, full-bodied with medium acidity. Medium+ finish, good balance. Tasting Sample. — a month ago

65% Cab Sauv, 27% Shiraz, 8% Merlot Blend. Delicious blend of ripe blackberries, black currants and blueberries. This medley is followed by spices, soft anise, and white pepper. For a final finish, lush velvety tannins that linger well. — 10 days ago

Peach, lemon, white pepper, crisp minerality and medium acidity. Pairs well with food; I paired it with bbq chicken & veggies and it held up nicely. — 15 days ago
