Not a bad South African Bordeaux-Style Blend. Red and Black fruits and even a bit “jammy.” Have hints of tobacco and earth. Has a little bit of a green quality. Medium Body. Really good QPR.

Wire and green pepper. Pleasant leather component. A little heavy on the vanilla. Grippy tannins. A little light on acidity. Good black fruit. Funk, rough fun wine!

Felt this came to its own after 2-3 hours of decanting. Cedar and cherries were dominate along with sweet tobacco. Well structured, great eye opener for a SA Bordeaux blend
