Really good, under the radar wine. Very old style Bordeaux blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah from Stellenbosch. Nose is black fruit- currants, blackberries. Influence of the Syrah really comes through. Tannins are fairly smooth, not overly harsh, but was expecting a bit more velvety texture given the age. Finish has medium length. This will be best with food - red meat or some fat. Watch this producer - the quality here was really good. 2011 vintage on Aug 8, 2018.
