Syrah/Grenache/Mourvedre: pretty big fresh dark cherry, plummy fruit. The real interesting thing here is the earthy density of the wine--that and its enjoyable herby, celery seed thing.

A serious South African.. First subtle but grows.

Soft. Dry. Blackberry or cran / cherry and tobacco Hint of clove ? A hint….

Uncorked wine of month. Better than your average wine of the the month. Very Bordeaux.

Happily Surprised. A worthy bottle. Will go again.

16.5/20 (91/100) Тонкий аромат с нотами черешни, ежевики и красного яблока, в развитии появляются цветочные ноты. Умеренная тельность, высокая кислотность, шелковистые танины. Очень тонко для GSM.

Not a lot of bottles in a harvest. Enjoyable with red meat.
