Got this directly at the winery. This one was delicious - really round fruit, with good structure. I've found these sometimes too soft at the winery but this had some backbone - like the extra age helped a lot. There is some nice sweetness too, with not much if any acidity. This is a lovely style of wine that in some ways is similar to a Pinot Noir but has more stiffness and body, bringing a welcome edge. I recently tasted the '13 Estate Pinotage at the winery and that was the best one I've tried yet. 92+pts.
