Dark garnet red with some tawny edges. A bit stinky on the nose with some cheese, wood and black cherries. Medium tannins (6/10) with a medium body. Notes of bark and dried cherries on the palate. Drinking well right now with a long finish. Drink till 2019.

8.9

Slightly hazy, deep garnet, clean pronounced nose of plum jam, kirsch, cognac, tar, walnuts and tobacco. Dry, medium acidity, high ripe tannins, high alcohol, warms the chest, medium plus body, pronounced flavors of prunes, kirsch, plum jam, black currants, tobacco and walnuts. The finish is long, and the quality is very good because it's aging well, there's a lush entrance on the palate and the finish is long. Can drink now until 2020, the fruit is still present and it has medium + tannins and medium fresh acidity to prevent oxidation. #shiraz #southafricanwine
