WSET Teaching Level 4 for Northern Rhone (Stellenbosch): Mid purple; Lifted and delicate floral aromas with garrigue, fennel, roasted meat, black pepper, raisin and mint toothpaste. Full-bodied, this is a weighty, dense wine with high extract, firm, almost austere tannins yet with balancing energetic acidity. Plenty of savoury flavours intermingle with black fruit, sweet spice, liquorice and black pepper. There is an air of refinement about the wine I enjoyed and although it will need some time for the tannins to resolve this should keep nicely over the next 5-10 years.
