Second of the reds in our South African blind tasting. Definitely has some age as can be seen by the deep garnet core, bricking on the edges and more translucent. Lots of South African funk on the nose, a bit stinky with notes of pepper and light red berries. Medium tannins (5/10) and medium bodied. Earthy on the palate with red plums, cherries and crushed gravel with a medium to medium plus finish. This bottle has definitely aged gracefully, seemed a lot younger on the palate, maybe around ten years, not seventeen. Drink now.

Cassis and chocolate with notes a of cedar, touch jammy, ripe & expressive. Palate is more savoury with slick black fruit & decent acid tannin balance but a little hot on exit with a ripe black fruit and gravel finish
