Ditto my recent note. Some dark fruit on the nose and palate with a hint of licorice on the finish. seemed to be the end of its prime drinking interval.

Bordeaux blend from South Africa with CS, Merlot and Cab Franc. Medium bodied with a touch of dark fruit on the nose and palate and a hint of licorice on the finish. I suspect that it is at the end or slightly past its drinking interval as I had this wine in a So. African tasting a number of years ago and it was better. I have one more bottle - will drink soon.

South Africa wines (Lou's): The groups last place wine, I liked it a bit better. Purple/ruby in color. The nose has pencil lead, some brett, some cassis. Like a nice simple Bordeaux. On the palate, cassis and black cherries. Finishes with drying tannins though. The brett seemed an issue with the group, but I didn't mind it.

Soft and easy drinking, but with a distracting burnt rubber note.
