I agree with vsbastosx that this is reminiscent of Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon with strong Stellenbosch terroir notes throughout. It is a big, well structured, and gripping wine that needs one to three years to unwind. 91-92.

Decanted 2 hours. Intense nose of ripe, sweet dark strawberry, like strawberry Jell-O mixed with wild berry seeds, salmon skin and salty Canadian bacon, and dark chocolate. Polished palate, still very big and jammy, but not heavy in dry extract; black currants, black cherry, wild berry, and plenty of acidity underneath. Very well made. Drink 2014-2024

Not as good as previous bottle. Still lovely Cabernet fruit complicated by porcini and savoury finish.

Smells like Chilean cab. Mint on the nose with subtle oak and earthy notes with liquorice. Full bodied, round and balanced. Very good! 90+

Really good now and opens up in the glass. Great now and may improve over the next year or two
