Community Tasting Note

    March 1, 2012 - Delicious wine. Lovely nose with ripe plum, cherry, tobacco, cedar and roses. On the palate maybe not very complex, yet still very enjoyable. Cassis, licorice, tobacco, low acidity, ripe tannines and a long finish. Well-crafted, balanced wine without asphalt or tar one sometimes has to deal with in a SA red. Yummy stuff and an absolute steal for 10 Euro/btl. Nice find on the day the wine world went crazy due to the release of RMP's 'Bdx2009-in-the-bottle'- scores.
