  Loved this wine. Lucious, warm, ripe. Delicious and super surprising pinotage.

  WSET2 Course Notes; 10/22/2023-11/5/2023 (WineHouse, Los Angeles): Appearance: Deep ruby to garnet.
  Nose: Medium+ intensity. Prune, black currant. Vulcanised rubber and warm volcanic soil (two different aromas, just happen to have the word volcano in common). Hint of coffee and smoke. Cedar wood.
  Palate: Dry, medium+ acidity, medium+ tannin and body, high alcohol and flavour intensity. Smoke character with some very ripe red cherries. Distant chocolate. Medium+ finish.
  9/10. Very good but to be honest, I expected more.

  This is a regular youngster still. According to the graph on the back label, this wine has just entered its drinking window, but I'd definitely wait another 5-10 years before cracking into them - unless your palate accustomed to young Napa Cab and the like.
  Opened 8-10 hours in advance and recorked. Showed a lot of plummy, ripe fruit on the nose, a touch of oaky vanilla, and a bit of toasty barrel. The palate is fairly intense, but not overly jammy or full bodied, actually fairly composed, lots of freshness and acidity, even if there wasn't a lot of tannins.
  I am so excited to open my 2015s in a few years now.

  Still young, but promising. Dense and expressive, with black berries, ink, pencil and liquorice in the nose. Full bodied, intense palate, of perfectly ripe dark berries, tobacco, chocolate and toast aromas. Better wait another 5 years to really flourish.
