VISUEL : rouge grenat aux nuances marron
OLFACIF : épicés et poivrés
GUSTATIF : fruité (la fraise), c'est agréable mais un peu sucré à l'américaine mais cela ne fait pas pilotage du tout
ENSEMBLE : bien -

August 13, 2014 - I gave it a much higher score before (90), still an interesting wine with coffee dominance, but not a 90pt wine. ok at $12.

June 10, 2014 - I've had this wine twice and with a much difference experience than the other posters. 1st, it is not thin or sweet, and as the silly bottle label shows you get a lot of coffee, some mocha and spice. I really liked this wine and it is a steal at this price. Of course, I also like coffee.

May 8, 2014 - not for the faint of heart in the nose. Loads of coffee and chocolate and some smoke. In the mouth is a bit thin and too sweet. Good pinotage forcan easy BBQ that would also please people who are not into wine. But still, not my fav Pinotage by far

November 16, 2013 - Smoky Bacon and Coffee, Berrys and dark chocolate. Probably better in combination with a nice BBQ Meal.
