Still a power house of cherry, plum and cassis. Smooth mouthful giving way to a slight alco/tannic hit at the finish. This wine needs more time to mellow and develop.

Platter tasting (By UG): Mainly cherries on the nose, together with some earthy impressions and some yoghurt. On the palate juicy cassis, licorice and beautiful, slightly toasted oak. Some chocolate as well. Good balance between sweetness and acidity, good tannin and a long finish. Excellent wine. Ready now and probably for the next 4 years.

An interesting blend, a bit thin on the bouquet and open but after a while you can pick up the hints of Pinotage seeping through. I think this needs a couple of more years, but nice to drink now.

Very strong nose dominated by (too high) alc. (15%+). A black currant bomb, but way too expensive - and I would NEVER had guessed on a Bordeaux-bland
