This is from Paarl in South Africa owned by Tim Rudd who lives next door to my sisters family in Gloucestershire UK. Tim kindly asked us to taste this a week ago at his cellar in England beside the 2017 of the same Cuvée. This had notes of bruised Apple a touch of sweetness with peach and well controlled oak treatment. Medium to full bodied. Very easy to drink with a touch of salinity. I preferred this to the 2017 which was a little more oaky. Highly recommended if you can find it in the US - no agency yet in Australia.
