January 22, 2016 - I found the wine to be deep garnet in color and free of any sediment. I drank this bottle over two evenings and found that the nose improved greatly after given some time to breath. The aromas of cherries that were almost non existent on the first night truly exploded into your nose on the second, give this wine some air and you will be rewarded.
On the palate the flavors of cherries dominate with hints of nutmeg and plums. The finish of this Pinotage is unlike one I have ever had. I’ve seen many described as having tastes of rose or florals but for me I just didn’t pick up on them, until this one. I was caught off guard and immediately tasted again to make sure my mind wasn’t playing tricks on me.
