  Not much structure or grip on the palate...notes of light red cherries.

  Die Mischung aus Cabernet-Sauvignin und Syrah ist einfach beeindruckend! Kräftig und dicht und ewig lang. Kan noch reifen, aber nicht zu lange.

  Fifth wine tasted at Rust en Vrede with Coenie Snyman and the third vintage tasted of the Estate bottling. This bottling is made up of 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Shiraz and 8% Merlot. Aged for 18 months in 85% French and 15% American oak, prior to further aging for 12 months in bottle.
  
  Deep ruby red core. A bit smoky on the nose with cherries, cigar box and a bit spiced. Solid acidity on the palate with medium plus (7/10) and a full body. Layered with black berries, spices, raspberries and oak influences. Long finish. Drink till 2027.
