Reserve. This is still alive? Great wine. Of course with all old South African wines, nose was dirty cellarish, moldy and cheese. Garnet red with brown edges. Dry on the palate with a sandpaper or furry feel from the moderate tannins (7.5/10). Very well integrated, smooth and time has done wonders with this wine. I know for some people the nose is off putting and they can't get past it. Better for the people (like us) that love this! Full lingering finish, real solid.
