Deep ruby and viscous to the eye, pepper, spice and fruit on the nose. Clean, smooth dark fruit on the palate, with a tad of a bite of spiciness at the back.
Quite superb, drinking early, but I could keep this for a few years quite easily.
Likely won't though. :)

This is the start of a second case - surprised how closed this bottle is to the previous 6. After decanting, strawberry jam and saddle leather (yes, really)

Slightest bit of funk. Bit more tannin though would not be under appreciated!

Jul 4th, 2017At 10yrs on, it's behaving quite well. Nose has softened, and the tannins are smoother at the finish. Color shows age and reminiscent of a Malbec. Glad I have another bottle!

Jun 4th, 2017Whoa. Amazing stuff. Drank in South Africa and paired amazingly well with ostrich, kudu, warthog, lamb, and beef. Kept ordering bottles because I couldn't figure out the exchange rate. Pretty sure I'm screwed.

Jun 27th, 2016Nice rich flavour, could twin this wine with a nice rich beef, lamb or flavoursome fowl dish. Slight bitter aftertaste with quite heavy tannins but certainly a good drinker with great flavours.
