Deep garnet red with bricking on the edges. A bit stinky on the nose smokey and gamey. Moderate tannins (6/10) and medium plus bodied. Rather impressed with this and at the perfect moment to drink. A bit savory on the palate with a touch of dark red fruits. Medium plus finish.

Very nice. No plastic gauze in this cuvée.

Feb 18th, 2016Color: Garnet Red, high intensity.
Nose/Smell: A little tight upon pnp. After about 10 or so minutes in the glass there were notes of cassis.
Palate/Taste: Initially was savory on the palate and then opened up with some dark berries. Tannins were moderate (5/10) but very silky. Moderate body and finish.
Opinion: Needs some time to open up and to integrate a little, not to sure about age ability of this vintage. Had the 2005 a couple weeks ago and that was in for the long haul. 90+

Deep garnet in color. Nose has started to wear off, very light charcoal and earthy tones. There are some undertones of black fruit. Starts off earthy and lots of dark fruits like plums on the palate. Additionally the palate was slightly toasty. Moderate tannins (5.5/10) and moderate body. Finish was long and lingered. Not surprised by the power of this wine even after 10 years and the dark fruits on the palate. A little disappointed by the nose but still a delicious wine. After tasting this we will be making a stop by Klein Constantia tomorrow!
