I like a bit of South African funk, but this wine was a bit too funky on day 1. Settled down a bit on day 2. Rich and lots of fruit. Day 1 - 87, day 2 - 89.

Tobacco, incense, bay leaf, mulberry, plum, blackberry, spices, menthol, and smoke on the nose. Blackberry, plum, herbs, spices, earth, tobacco, and vanilla on the palate. Nice mouthwatering acidity, very good finish, integrated tannins. Overall, I really liked the juicy, tangy berry aspect of this wine, but the herbaceousness was a bit much for me.

Intense, rich, dark bordeaux-esque blend. Quite a pleasant surprise for the price.
