Complex nose of garrigue/fynbos, lavender, smoked meats, spice and dark fruits. On the palate, well balanced wine with more dark fruit, meat and spice on the palate. Fine tannins and a lingering aftertaste - you could age this longer but it's pretty good at the moment. I would swear this was aged Chateuneuf-du-Pape if served blind, not Swartland (great effort by Eden Sadie). A fantastic wine that's in a really good place now

Light red colour. Soft nose of strawberries, developed later on to show earthy, savoury characters. Quality fruit on the palate with oak in a supporting role. A delicate wine with soft tannins and reasonably long aftertaste. A very enjoyable wine to drink.

Dark purple colour. Cassis and menthol on nose with nice oak/cedary notes in background. Palate lacks fruit concentration. Firm tannins but short aftertaste, fruit not holding up. Liked the wine but hoping there'll be improvement over time as the tannins soften.
