Drank over three nights. First day quite muted and tense. Second day at its best: intense fruit with blackberries and blueberries, black and green pepper, cocoa beans and leather, rich tannins and impressive length. Third day a bit toned down but still lively.
It's at a good place right now but could probably be held for a year or so more. Not very complex however.

Vin d'Afrique du sud. De belles notes de viande fraiche, de fruits noirs. En bouche, c'est plein, épicé avec de l'équilibre. Ce vin garde une fraicheur. Original et agréable. 90 sur 100.

N: a bit mute. Some green aromas. Cherries, herbs, some barnyard. M: medium body. Good, high acidity with a generous and concentrated fruit. Ends with a good tangy acidity.
I like! Though I wished it had a bit more pronounced nose.

This is a good wine. Plums, liquorice, some herbs and a hint of the burnt flavours that are common in wines from South Africa. In the mouth the fruit and the abundant tannins give a dry feeling. Additional flavours are consistent with the nose and the balance is good. Although I would like to know how this develops I will pass on this one.
