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.

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!

Чуть жарко. Кедр, чёрный перец, темная ликерная слива, дым. По мне немного слишком экстрактивно и заискивающе . Но сделано хорошо, раздышавшись становится немного гармоничней

What a difference a few years makes. Full bodied Cabernet Sauvignon\Shiraz blend. Deep and dark ruby color, luscious dark fruits, fresh green herbs, tobacco and leather on the palate. Medium finish, complexity and length. Excellent for an aged red blend from South Africa! #stellenbosch #southafrica @anwilkacellar

A little stinky and tastes stinky too. But good fruit
