Solid Bordeaux Blend (Left Bank Style) from an historic South African Estate. Deep youthful color with violets, plums and spices on the nose. Plums, licorice and wet stone on the pallet. Sleek, opulent, with a creamy finish.

Just awful. Tart acidity to the max. The next morning my palette is paying the price as if i devoured a pack of sour patch kids.
