Very much in style for SA Pinotage. Dusky and a bit smoky. Not overly tannic, and as long as you can handle the smoky on the mild side. Ready to just open and drink, and I have no reason to think waiting will improve it. Before considering, I was tempted to score it even higher, but it doesn't hold up in complexity to $20 cabs (not a fair comment I know). Still, an absolute steal at $7 and I'm going to get another 6 bottles. A must try if you like pinotage with a bit of smoky.
