Pinotage
South Africa
Humble outdoor party, wine 1. No detailed notes taken to ensure proper hedonistic payback of event organized :)
Wise choice for the start as this wine is intriguing, lively and quaffable, with coffee-inspired name.
Blackish purple color, garnet rim.
Medium intensity aromas of smoked insulation tape, peat, cigar box, cappucino, dark fruits and jams.
Zesty and friendly palate. Medium body, gastronomic acidity (what was needed in my case). Flavored with various wild berries, spices and coffee beans
Lengthy and tart finish with pepper, basil and dark fruits.
Paired various snacks.
85/100 (re-taste!)

Kind of a deceptive wine. You think there will be a “bite” on the back end but it never manifests. Just a smooth, warm enjoyable experience from start to finish.

An interesting tasting grape. Notes on this bottle include a coffee and dark chocolate finish with an overall smoked, flavor characteristic. First pinotage.

So delicious. Coffee, chocolate, cherries, beautifully complex. Doesn't need anything with it, although some ginger chocolate is a killer combo. The perfect wine for curling up in front of the fire if you're looking for interest and doing what it says on the bottle!
