Didn't expect much from this wine and never got around to drinking it. I did like it a lot however, as it has as aged exceptionally well. Very elegant medium bodied red with spicy, cedar nose, mushrooms and black fruit notes. Still shows good fruit on the palate - plums. Well integrated acids and, as expected, smooth tannins but which still retain a surprising grip. Long, fairly dry finish

A typical and well made Cape Blend for a reasonable price. Already very smooth and silky. A bit fruit, a bit earth, a bit animal ...... Not overpowered although not less extract and alc. Not too complicated wine. Ready for a little weekday indulgence.
