Community Tasting Note

  • Kris G wrote: 90 points

    October 25, 2020 - Well balanced wine with the typical South-African terroir-characteristics, but not in your face. The fruit is ripe, displaying red fruits and blackberries. The wood is present but wel integrated. The acidity is rather pronounced and delivers freshness.

    I've been saving some bottles of this vintage and might re-visit it soon. Perhaps a parallell with 2016 vintage.

    Cheers!
