(Kanonkop Pinotage) #1; COLOR-very dark; NOSE-green banana peel wrapped in bacon; some Zinfandel spiciness as well; PALATE-plum & banana w/ bacon bits; some really gorgeous true cherry flavor on the back-end; this wine has a little oomph; a little structure; some meatiness & gaminess; I really like this a lot; smooth and polished; very good wine; will last 7-12 years; great w/ steaks & burgers; WS-91; GV-91
