Nose of dark fruits, boysenberry, ripe plums, smoke and tar with a touch of milk chocolate. High noted but dark as well. The palate is beautifully textured and chalky with great acidity and balance. The fruit is savory but clean and expressive. Excellent!

WSET2 Course Notes; 10/22/2023-11/5/2023 (WineHouse, Los Angeles): Appearance: Deep ruby to garnet. Nose: Medium+ intensity. Prune, black currant. Vulcanised rubber and warm volcanic soil (two different aromas, just happen to have the word volcano in common). Hint of coffee and smoke. Cedar wood. Palate: Dry, medium+ acidity, medium+ tannin and body, high alcohol and flavour intensity. Smoke character with some very ripe red cherries. Distant chocolate. Medium+ finish. 9/10. Very good but to be honest, I expected more.

Fresh fruit, but with a velvet mouthfeel. Long aftertaste of nuts and fruit. Ripe and a bit of sweetness.

Spicy, peppery, manly but not as hard, as I had expected. Dark matter, tobacco, chocolate, some tannin.

Loved this wine. Lucious, warm, ripe. Delicious and super surprising pinotage.
