drank 30 minutes after decanting. Smoky nose with lots of tobacco and cigar smoke. Very fragrant nose with lots of cedar. Just showing really well and drinking beautifully like a claret.

Delightful wine - going strong at this stage with a few more years ahead of it ...... Has mellowed considerably and has picked up a lot more mature notes (the slight menthol was very nice). Sophisticated. At this price point I think it's very good indeed.

Deep red, burgundy colour. Lovely fruit on the nose - green pepper along with tar and cedar. Very fresh and bright. Flavours of green pepper, cedar, mushroom and tobacco. Very well balanced. Good length and drinking beautifully. Lovely wine.

Drinking beautifully now. Tertiary farmyard flavours whilst being very approachable . Reflects very well on SA Cabernet's ageing potential.
