Super dark garnet red. Dark fruits on the nose with both blue and black. Some cocoa spices and sweet tobacco too. Medium velvety tannins (6.5/10) with solid acidity and medium bodied. Definitely fruiter than expected with cassis and black fruits, a touch green in the medium plus finish. Drink till 2024.

Good acidity even after 7 years. We enjoyed it with great steak. It will be good for years to come. May even improve a touch as it get older. Quality bottle, label and cork. Congratulations to the wine maker.

If you like SA wines, you'll love this. Hard to find. R250 at the winery ( beautiful winery and restaurant in Stelenbosch).
