2000 Kanonkop Cabernet SauvignonSimonsberg-Stellenbosch more |
7/24/2005 - boxwine_in_hell wrote: 85 pointsThe majority of South African red wine is in my opinion mediocre to downright horrible. Kanonkop is the exception. You could almost mistake the 2000 cabernet for a North American Cabernet. It has a nicely floral and fruit forward nose, lots of black currant and vanilla. On the palate it's medium bodied but very classy and smooth, you could almost mistake it for a high quality Pinot Noir. Nice currant and berry flavors with a dash of clay/mineral and cedar/vanilla....good finish with adequate tannin structure. Incredible effort for a South African cabernet. |

1/21/2006 - mpoel wrote: 90 pointsNose is quite closed, even after some air not really expressive. Makes up for it on the palet, super concentration with layers of fruit. Very rich and spicy. Second best of the evening, due to the lack of expression on the nose. But without a doubt, absolute top quality. |

8/22/2004 - andrewstevenson.com wrote: 90 pointsThe Fourth Great Liverpool Off-line (New Brighton): A closed, dark mulberry nose: very rich, dark and smooth. Also very rich and smooth on the palate. Quite big tannins appear on the finish providing a soft chewiness. Very deep and quite concentrated. Possibly Shiraz/Cabernet? Some Cabernet Franc in it? Very Good Indeed. |

I do not have much experience w/ pinotage... this was just VERY subdued (nose and palate). I might grab another and give it a year or two. |
