Deep ruby red. Dark spices on the nose with notes of dark berries, chalk, and a bit earthy. Heavy tannins (7/10) and full bodied. Layered and young with black cherries, black berries, dark sweet spices, cocoa and chalk. Long and lingering finish. Drink till 2028.

Infantcide. Needs a minimum 5 years. Opened up on day 2 which gave a good idea where it’s heading, which is promising

Happiness. This wine must have been huge when it came out. Still balanced. Slight brickish hue starting to show.

Mar 18th, 2016Great blend from Stellenbosch. Color is dark red with light brown edges. Nose has light cherries, cassis and chalk that grows with air time. In the palate there was a lot of tart cherries, a little dry that ended with a little bit of cassis. Low to moderate tannins that flows with a moderate body. The finish was moderate in length and stuck around with cherries.

See earlier notes and at 7 years old it’s integrating nicely and I’ve several I should consume next four years
Nose of berries cedar box and chassis
Smooth tannins and silky texture with Cabernet Franc to the fore
Plenty to like with a good long finish.
