Lay & Wheeler South Africa tasting (Glazier's Hall): Pretty and floral: violets, milk chocolate, strawberry and raspberry. Just a little reticent right now. Medium body with a good kick of tannin and acid, finishing with some pleasantly bitter notes. Really quite transparent and I'd expect it to age in an interesting direction.

Translucent red. Raspberries, rhubarbs, rose petals, hot stones and forest floor on the nose. Light silky tannins with great freshness and good midpalate concentration with persistence on the finish. Really quite fantastic. Subsequently reading that it is 60% whole bunch, which makes sense. BTG

Magnum. So slinky and beautifully made. Gorgeous red fruit with a subtle spice. Super, and ready to enjoy already.
