  Completely youthfully velvet purple. Classic Cabernet nose very left bank. Bell pepper, pencil and cigar box. Expansive palate deep and interesting. Dark fruits, just barely ripe with some minerals. Great balance, Very smooth tannins and a long finish.

  Excellent Cab. Subtle tannins, balanced fruit. Good with steak.

  Eion has a v good description. Beautiful in the glass deep crimson, the nose has that unique burnt African soil nose. Long and complex superb balance. Remains one of the worlds best quality for price wines

  Terrific Rray of flavour on the nose with smoke, dark berries, dark chocolate, hint of herbs, some burnt rubber and tar, juicy palate with lots of fruit, though does turn a bit sharp towards the finish, lots of stuffing for further development, if I had more I'd try again in 5 or so more years

  South African reds in Mozambique; 3/10/2015-3/17/2015 (Pensao Martins at the Pool): One of the best Cabernets I have had from South Africa. Familiar cassis nose, some tobacco, chocolate. Charming and subtle tannins, silky finish. In great shape right now.
