Minty, savory, plenty of red fruit. Shows far better at cellar temp than room temp.

QPR steal of the year so far. Think this was like $20 on LB. Dark fruit jam from South Africa.

Last bottle opened at the house in Paarl 2012 100% Syrah in magnum from Fable Mountain, Tulbagh. Seriously well made wine. Full body. Ripe red and black fruit. Balanced luxurious palate. Will mature beautifully. Fab South African syrah will stand internationally. Get it if you can.

Powerful yet pleasant. Very in-Trump-like.
