Deep ruby red. Layered nose with a touch herbaceous notes, dark red berries and a light black fruit too. Moderate tannins (7/10) and medium plus bodied. Nice spiciness with layers of dark fruits, black and dark red, as well as some dark gravel. Long and lingering finish. Drink till 2030.

Sample from #CapeClassics.
Medium to deep ruby red. Very interesting nose, a lot more savory with some dirty and musky notes. A little gamey/iron too with smoked herbs. Very light spices with a bit of dark berries on the back end. Moderate tannins (6.5/10) with dark characteristics throughout the palate. Some dark red berries, some greenery and a little savory. Medium plus bodied with strong and tangy acidity. Long dry finish. This definitely needs more time to fully develop. Drink till 2017 till 2027.

Nice ripe red fruit and current with undertones of mocha and vanilla. The color a nice violet hue with good intensity. Palate was round and balanced with a nice finish. #capesomm #WOSA
