From a warmer vyd than the Z, 55CS is the core of the Bordeaux blend, meaty, pepper & graphite, red and black fruits, solid tannic structure good length and lots of complexity

Casus is very prominent. Strange complexity that did not come off balanced enough. Maybe more time on this one, as well....

Powerful and complex wine. A bin New World for my taste, but still balanced and silky. Very good!

Lush, fruit forward. Candied dates, prunes, clove, roasted character on the front. Gives way to a darker smoked meat character. Was the best with the homemade salad dressing consisting of avocado, fresh basil, Greek yogurt, green onion, garlic and parsley. In a way I could see all of these characteristics in this wine. In the past these have seemed a little tight and a bit closed off on the finish, but this wine was ready for the show. I think this producer is really quite underrated when it comes to the time it takes for these to really start expressing and I would put these up against any of the South African 'first growth' wineries.
