  Never had such an extreme Paprika Pepper nose and even on the palate, otherwise distinct wood and acid, alltogether not my cup of tea.

  Red at the rim, tending to black at the centre - slight SA nose. This needs an hour in the decanter to show well. The palate is nicely fresh, but with a slight degree of sweetness, still quite evident tannins, quite precise and not muddy, this wine could do with a few years cellaring yet.

  Slightly bretty and leathery nose but not off-putting. Sweet spice, ground coffee, hints of florality and pepperiness are coated within a very Bordeaux-like cedar aroma. Balanced use of oak does not overwhelm fruit. Palate has freshness of fruit, loose tannins and gives a refreshing and clean finish. Drinkable right away. Beautiful wine with maybe a little too much cedar aromatics, but still a nice wine.

  Evolved with evident herbaceousness of cedar and bell peppers followed by black fruit, cigar box and evident new oak which is actually 100% new. Combines power with finesse due to good balance between bright acidity, medium+ ripe and chewy tannins against generous alcohol and medium full body. Some complexity has already revealed. A cross of N World with Old World in style.
