  Deep garnet, high intensity. Fully developed, and so fresh for an 18 year old wine. Medium(+) intensity nose. Dark fruit, a touch of mint, rubber, smoke. On the palate a tiny sweetness, medium(+) acidity and tannin, the latter soft and grainy. Full bodied. 14%. Flavours as nose with the dark fruit accentuated. Hints of the black currant. Very good length with dark fruit and slone.
  Starts soft and generous, then tightens up. Smooth in texture. Intensity in flavours. Easy to like.

  I am not totally sure
  But as long that I can remeber
  This wine was voted or gloried as the best wine in SA this vintage
  By Platter at least
  Now that was some time ago
  I have had 3 of these before
  Today this is a fully matured Cabernet wine With lots of fruit there But also secondary and tertiery notes
  The hard roasted oak makes it clear that this is a little bit too good to be true
  To be the real Stuff Meaning Left side in Bordeaux
  So we set the direction pretty quick to SA
  And this i a Blindtested wine
  Well You cant cry drinking this complex wine
  Knowing that you picked it out and nailed it in a contest with other competitors

  Surprisingly vital with full flavor. Close to it’s peak, but will stay there for some time. Lots of dark fruit with dry, tannins and long finnish. Congrats to those who have some bottles left

  Sadly my last bottle. Again a great performance. Casis, some sweetness, nice acidity and oak. Very nice developed CS. Wish I had more and follow its evolution.

  P&P. Tertiair aromas, nice glycerin. Casis, leather. Nice drinking old Cabernet. Drink now.
