Not very focused. Starts with sweet juicy tannins, turns sour and watery on the finish. Okay flavours, but not balanced.

Medium+ tannins, not layered - sadly just one dimensional body, but with a long finish. Not really thick, rather medium + easy drinking and very gastronomic.

Cool style bottle. Lip and raised glass makes it seem like it’s as old as the founding of 1685. Very dark purple. Borderline black. Nice nose, dark fruits of the vines and trees. Flavors are deep and full. Bit of mocha to go with the berry, plum fest. This also has that classic South African tire/rubber flavor in it. It’s pretty big, but it’s balanced, dry and complex. It’s well worth what it ran at grocery outlet. And it’s got that heritage on its side.

Decent. A bit more acidic than I like but paired well with a basic bolognese made I made in a cottage on the estate
