  August 10, 2013 - On the nose and on the money. 2007 was a good/great year for SA wines in general and the Kanonkop Pinotage is a great wine. I would suggest it is at its best now at 6 years. Could add 2 or 3 but right now brilliant. Deep and rich, a very velvety texture, lots of dark fruits, blackberry and dark cherry, a hint of chocolate in there. Wonderful, and a bit of a decant works wonders as well, 1 + hours at least. (the 1999 and 2000 Pinotage Kanonkop I had in SA showed that the wine is not a really long term keeper. Based on thise I'd say 7-10 years is the window with a fairly major drop off after a decade.
