March 27, 2024 - South Africa WIMPS #175 27th March 2024 (La Trompette, Chiswick): Double decanted 7 hours before drinking. Very dark fruited, cassis and blackcurrant fruit pastille. Powdery tannins. With air some touches of dark milk chocolate. Some hints of chestnut and a little soy character. As it warms in the glass the 14.5% alcohol makes its presence felt. Will be interesting sample another bottle on its 15th birthday.

July 30, 2023 - This is a great effort from Kanonkop Red cherry, red currant, cassis, plum, cedar wood. Plenty of fruit and grippy tannins. It will develop for 10-15 years. Be patient and you will get rewarded. Next bottle in 3-5 years.

April 30, 2023 - Very generous nose with red and black fruit plus cocoa, cedar, toast and vanilla. Grippy tannins, good acidity and plenty of fruit on the palate, savoury and a little spicy. Excellent with a piece of meat.

March 2, 2023 - Drinking beautifully right now. Tannin/ Acid coming into balance. Fruit beam of red fruit with a subtle pucker tartness shining through. Worth cellaring Kanonkop well past its release.
