Community Tasting Note

Monday, November 4, 2013 - Really really awesome! This one has a lot of everything: bouquet, taste, texture and complexity. A very good wine, maybe even a superb one. Haven't had better (but equally good) blends for 15€ (21$).
Dark ruby red with brown rims. 35% Pinotage, 30% Shiraz, 30% Cabernet, 5% Mourvedre. 14.5% alc.
Rich and superintense nose with strong notes of ripe plums, dark berry jam, mocha and hints of wood, herbs, nuts and banana, not alcoholic at all. 92 p.
Strong taste - full, round, smooth, intense, present tannins and acidity but well balanced, long finish, excellent texture, dry but fruity, supertasty! 90+ p.
The 2009 is absolutely super. Decanting brings the Cabernet a little more forward, but this is optional in my opinion. I had a glass of the 2007 vintage some weeks before and this one might have been even a little better than the 2009. This wine definitely has aging potential. Will buy 2009 as long as available and keep some bottles on stock. Give it a try, it's worth it!
