  March 31, 2012 - Medium bodied wine. A little bit sweet at the very begining but correcting sono. Notes of coffee and leather.

  March 12, 2011 - First off, I am not familiar with pinotage. This may be my first tasting the varietal on its own.
  
  That said, it pours a cloudy purple/ruby color. Rough bramble, rose and earth initially dominate the nose, but they soon recede behind more sophisticated blackberry and vanilla oak. A bit of alcohol cuts through as well.
  
  Taste wise, I'm getting a decent amount of black berry, tobacco and leather. Medium bodied, the drying tannins tend to dominate the subtle acids. In the finish, I get hints of black berry jam, cherry and vanilla. Leaves my throat warm and my mouth splintery dry.
  
  Good wine, probably better when paired with roasted meats and barbeque.
