IWEG Masterclass Wines of South Africa: Pinotage Then and Now (IWEG, Suite 511, 211 Yonge Street, Toronto): 2016 Kanonkop Cape Blend Kadette was clear medium ruby in colour. On the nose, there were raspberries, sweet tobacco, red cherries, earth and liqourice aromas. The mouthfeel was dry and rather full-bodied, with medium level of tannin and medium-high level of acidity. Flavours of coffee, milk chocolate and mixed berries were present in a medium finish.

Only 1/3 pinotage but the pinotage character comes through strong. Sort of a rubber cooked fruit note is dominant. Not the most offensive but not very good either

Stored 6 years and this wine is far better than 4 years ago. Spicy (pepper?), dark fruit and complex

Really n ice wine for the price. Full, fruity and with a little peppery aftertaste.

Meh. Not complex, not interesting, short. However, not offensive. I may cook with it, but I wouldn’t serve it.

Really not my cup of tea/wine. Earthy. Some pungent cherry and dark fruit. Lacks every aspect of elegance but drinkable. Will never buy again.

Över förväntan! Fylligt, smakrikt med en lite pepprig eftersmak. Me lika! :-)
