  South Africa WIMPS #175 27th March 2024 (La Trompette, Chiswick): Some venison carpaccio on the nose with some flecks of ginger and a little pickled walnut. Palate is peppery with some smoky sweet fruits and just a faint spritzy prickle on the tongue. Tannins a tad jagged if being picky.

  Good balance of dark fruits like plum and blackberry as well as dark chocolate and wet leaves supported by high acidity. Very much alive with very good development. Can keep this wine 2-3 years more in the cellar for full development.

  Deep garnet. Nose dominated by cedar, with some cassis and slight tobacco note. Full-bodied and well balanced, still a bit of fine-grained tannins. The palette gets dominated by a chocolaty note that I didn’t particularly enjoy, but overall it is an excellent wine.
  Drink or hold for upto another 2-3 years, there’s not all that much primary fruit left.

  Supple but full bodied. Lovely dark fruit, mint. Long.

  Delicious but not overly complex. Would be a real crowd pleaser, esp with food. I enjoy Boekenhoutskloof wines and increasingly think they should be drunk young.
