  Enjoyed over two evenings.
  
  Nose has an overdiluted cherry cordial quality with some sliced watermelon notes as well. Some strawberries too on the ripe side. There is a fine sprinkling of white pepper too. With time some elderflower emerges.
  
  Palate has a good balance of acidity and red fruits with a certain creaminess too. The creaminess, fruit and acidity remains very well balanced on a long finish. One of the best SA Cinsaults I have had.
  
  First of two bottles.

  12.5% abv. Very pale. Lovely notes of wild strawberry. A touch of spice/pepper? A touch of bubble-gum like a Beaujolais? V enjoyable and different.
