This was a winner in 2004 Top 10 Pinotage Competition. I had several bottles which I've been drinking over the past year and have been very pleased with it. I'm now down to my last two bottles after opening one last night. This wine is drinking really well now, it was a real delight.
Beautiful rich colour and opulent up-front damson flavours. There are some complex undercurrents of tobacco and a slight pinot-noir like earthiness. This is a wine that develops, and I really should have opened it earlier -- or maybe decanted it. Something to remember for next time.

Some tarry toffeeness underpins redcurrant sweet fruits which open out the longer the wine is opened. Which wasn't long as we soon finished it :)
