Vintage 2016 - deep purple, smell with explosive morello cherries, cedar, spicyness, touch of rubber (South Africa) and a smooth velvet taste. Lot of power. Partnered great with boudin noir and duck liver - at Meesters in wijn Maastricht #shiraz #southafrica

Wine that starts sweet and has a sour aftertaste. The after after taste is somewhat bitter. It has a hint of berry, but overall a very balanced taste
