5/21/2024 - IV+ Likes this wine: 94 pointsLots of fine oak, cassis and a little smoke on the nose. On the palate the blackcurrant and oak are really intense with a little fruit sweetness, good acidity and firm, chalky tannins. Long |

5/19/2024 - Tudz Drkl Likes this wine: NRNose of dark fruits, boysenberry, ripe plums, smoke and tar with a touch of milk chocolate. High noted but dark as well. The palate is beautifully textured and chalky with great acidity and balance. The fruit is savory but clean and expressive. Excellent! |

5/18/2024 - lozatron Likes this wine: NRNice day for a puce wedding (Leafy West London): My handwritten note says "stellar". This just keeps going, there's some menthol here - blind I think you'd probably call it a new world rather than bordeaux but there's oodles of class. Some discussion at the table as to whether it exhibited nebbiolo characteristics - I didn't get that at all (I liked it for a start) - again glasses were swapped to ensure it wasn't a glass specific thing - but there you go, individual experiences are part of the joy of this hobby aren't they. |

5/18/2024 - Guido L. wrote: 93 pointsSimilar to my first note. The acidity was slightly there, but integrated over time. The wine was decanted but did not get the air, it needed. We immediately started drinking it after decanting. Be patient and give it some air. |

5/2/2024 - paolom1809 Likes this wine: 90 pointsThe 2019 Kanonkop Pinotage Kadette presents itself as a distinguished representation of the superior quality and intricate nuances that South African Pinotage can embody. Upon initial assessment, the wine exudes alluring fragrances of ripe black cherry, plum, and subtle undertones of vanilla. Upon tasting, the wine reveals a medium-bodied structure with velvety tannins and a harmoniously balanced acidity that accentuates flavors of dark berries, spice, and a subtle hint of smokiness. The finish is prolonged and persistent, with a nuanced touch of toasted oak that adds layers of depth and sophistication. |

4/17/2024 - Zweder Likes this wine: 92 pointsDark berries, a firm dose of good oak in both the bouquet and on the palate. Full bodied, a firm amount of good sweetness, good acidity and tannin. In its young maturity stage now. |

4/22/2024 - njt_232 Likes this wine: 89 pointsAs per previous note. This time drank against 09 Musar. The latter was just slightly more to my taste. The Kanonkop is more fruit forward and less subtle. Delicious nonetheless. Some folks are saying drink up… I would say this has at last 3-5 years of peak life left in it. Enjoy! |

4/13/2024 - caspernick Likes this wine: 93 pointsDeep garnet colored with slight staining and a high viscosity (14% ABV). On the nose I get medium intensity aromas of cassis, leather, mint, pencil shavings, blackberry, black plum, coffee, vanilla, toasty oak and stewed mulderberry. The palate is dry with medium acidity, a full body and medium (+) tannins that are integrating nicely. Rich flavors of cassis, stewed mulderberry, black plum jam with tertiary development by way of leather as well as oak influence- vanilla, coffee and toasty oak. The pencil shavings and mint are present and add a nice angle. The finish turns a little tart, surprising for a New World wine but then again this is a classic Bordeaux blend- Cab Sav 70%, Merlot and Cab Franc at 15% each. The length of said finish is quite long and lingering, inviting me to take another sip. This bottle is at peak and en pointe. I nearly pulled it 5 years ago, thank goodness I waited. 93 points for this $70 wine makes it a 4 star effort. Drink by 2028. I'm pairing it with Tenderloin tails and Peppercorn sauce. |
