Dark, near opaque; substantial nose, black fruits, capsicum, hot tar; bit of a bruiser on the palate, dense, pleasing capsicum edge; long finish. No need to rush.

Decanted 1hr. With lamb shanks. Purchased in Jo'burg on release. Dark in the glass with no visible signs of age. Beautifully balanced in the mouth - tannin, fruit & a fabulous acidic spine hitting the ooh & ahh receptors in your brain. 18 years old & still in its prime.

drank out of magnum. Wonderfully perfumed nose. Soft and deep palate. Definitely not over the hill.
