Nice, easy drinking red. Very smooth and approachable. Aromas of berries/ripe red fruit, oak, smoke, barbecue ribs. On the palate the oak is noticeable, there is great pepper/spice, red fruit (raspberry, etc.). I had read that pinotage can express banana; I may not have noticed if I hadn't read that, but sure enough, there was some very subtle, creamy, buttery banana. Noticeable acidity, good finish. Perhaps a bit over-oaked, masking some of the fruit nuances.
