July 12, 2022 - Hour and a half decant, a great nose and palate of red fruit and slight spice. Full bodied with a longer finish, quite excellent QPR. Wish there were more pinotage available to get into, an enjoyable varietal when done well.

August 31, 2019 - Beautiful deep ruby color, muted fruits with balanced acidity and tannins. Round mouthfeel, but maybe a wee little short on the finish. Really nice wine- drinking beautifully now.

May 2, 2018 - Classic South African varietal, dark, inky and nearly opaque with earthy undertones, tastes of of dark fruit, firm tannins and a lengthy finish.
