90 Points

Tuesday, April 9, 2024 - Brought this wine to Pudgy Grill to celebrate a birthday with my army buddies. We ordered the Wagyu Ribeye, Grilled Pork Jowl, Grilled Chicken Leg, Unagi (eel) and Grilled Cabbage.

Dark purple in colour. Notes of ash, and burnt flint on the nose, giving way to rich ripe fruits and savoury plums. Blackcurrant, spices and cigar box completes the profile of the wine.

A mouthwatering wine that leaves your palate wanting for more. Complexity and balance of the elements is amazing, bearing resemblance of a Bordeaux wine with its unique South African signature.

At this price point, I think this wine is a good bargain. Do consider getting some if it comes your way, and cellar it for the next couple of years before opening a bottle.
