Deep ruby with a smoky, meaty and minty nose. Robust but not overbearing tannins with mint, black fruit and a bit of cranberry and tar on the palate. Medium finish - very elegant for a pinotage, and at a fair price.

15.5/20 (87/100)

Цвет темно-рубиновый, умеренно плотный. Аромат достаточно полный, с тонами черных ягод, немножко болгарского перца, мускатного ореха, палой листвы. Вкус полный, тело довольно плотное. Во вкусе тона сухих черных ягод, нюансы кожи, пряности, характерные нотки Пинотажа. Послевкусие долгое, танины достаточно заметные. Неплохая структура.

11 months in oak. Strong coconut aromas. Macerated ripe cherries. Lovely mouth, velvety tannins. Balanced body, very long!
