Deep inky Ruby color, aromas of black and blue fruits with spice and earthy scents. On the palate flavors of plum and blackberry with smoky spice and cacao. This full-body wine had dusty tannins, ok balance, medium+ finish ending with fruit, spice, oak and earthy character. Serve this with a chop dressed with garlic and herbs!

Terrific quality South African Bordeaux blend at a great value. Shiraz, cab sav, cab Franc, merlot and petite verdict blend perfectly to form a silky smooth well balanced wine. Recommended decant for 1.5 to fully open. Really superb notes of dark black fruit, cerise, plum, blackberry and notes of oaky aging with subtle vanilla and tobacco. 8.9/3.9

Deep dark purple; the cabs dominate the nose with green bell pepper pyrazines and with blackberries, mulberries, cookie dough, vanilla, violets behind; well integrated but rich tannins, nice midpalate and a delicious sweet finish.

1991 vintage. A little week on the nose, but great structure!
