Deep ruby. A touch of baking spices, and blueberries. A little savory undertone. Moderate tannins (6/10) and a bit dry in the long finish. Medium bodied max. Palate has a a nice texture with some red fruits. Drink till 2025.

Was opened last night thou, night, will definitely have a bigger kick and more power on day one. Would like to try that.

Aromas of Dark ripe fruit with soft tannins with cherries and plums and blackberries and licorice. French Oak. Very versatile with pairings. I am a huge fan of good Pinotage. The excellent wines of South Africa are often overlooked and this one is amazing.

Riktig ekbomb, men ändå elegant på nåt sätt. Silkigt och fruktigt
