In my opinion, the best high end Cab from South Africa. It has that touch of vegetal notes that shows it's sense of place. The tannins are silky and refined.

Medium garnet red. Solid bell peppers on the nose, might be a little charred or even jalapeño with chalk. A little dirty too. Surprised with the power of this wine. Moderate tannins (6/10) and medium bodied. Solid minerality with a bit of forest floor. Truffles and iron too with balanced acidity. Medium plus finish and very well rounded. No reason to wait much longer on this. Drink now.
