Ruby color. Primary flavors are smoke, tobacco, wet tree bark on a rainy day in the forest, some black fruit. Incredibly complex. Silky tannins, medium + acidity, long finish. I would say not for everyone, but this is an awesome wine for wine lovers.

The bouquet is deep with dark berries, vanilla and sweet spices. On the palate a full bodied and yet elegant wine with dark berries, some bell pepper, good acidity and a pleasant touch of sweetness. Round, still youthful tannin. Young maturity stage now.

I found this very much in new world style, with quite a strong entry but then much smoother, richer and silkier on the palate than expected for such a young wine, but perhaps erring slightly on the side of being a bit flabby.
Rich blueberry, blackberry flavours and a bit of earth and liquorice. It may be a bordeaux blend, but lacking the dryness, acidity or structure of a young bordeaux. Would like to try again with a bit of age on it.

Delicious wine, reassembles BDX well, still a bit rough around the edges. It was definitely better on the second day.
I will get more bottles.

Beautiful dark berries, vanilla, tasty, good acidity and round tannin. Still very youthful.

Cape Cru South Africa Tasting (Zuiderkerk, Amsterdam): Typical BDX blend with black berries, some oak and a touch of greenness. High tannins, long finish

On safari; 3/17/2021-3/19/2021 (Mombo Camp, Okavango Delta, Botswana): After 45 minutes of opening, this started to sing. Licorice and menthol were the notable features. This is a dryer style, not extracted. Excellent wine.
