This is my all-time favorite. I find myself comparing other red blends using this as my standard. The tannins are rich and cedar-like, giving the wine a nice backbone.

Penny black indeed! This wine is like purple on the dark side of the moon. Nose matches up: blackberries, black cherries, black earth, tobacco, menthol and, almost inexplicably, rhubarb...and even more. Oh so sweet earth, mingled with black fruit and leather are among the delights of the palette. Extremely complex and bold, it got even better the longer it was in the glass. 2nd best S African wine I've ever had.
