Deep in colour. Very jammy, raspberries. Smoothe, soft tannins with a long finish. Visit to the vineyard is highly recommended, with a stunning viewing deck.

Deep purple in colour this Merlot is sliky and well structured. The nose shows jammy fruit and oaky characters. The palate is rich, showing coffee/chocolate, good texture and well rounded tannins. Nice now, but I believe this will improve further.

Rich and silky purple in colour this Merlot had a slightly bricky tinge. Blackberries on the nose lead to a palate full of dark berry fruit and oak. Powerful and tannic with good acid. Would definately reward further cellaring.

Blind home wine tasting with MOT Scoring sheet: Nice earthy (clean dusty) aroma with a peppery nose. The pepper suprized me. Good strong tannins and smooth finish

South African Wines - VERY LONG; 10/5/2005-10/6/2005 (the Modern): bit of prunes on the nose, but with good minerality. A bit rustic - almoust like an italian wine?! nice but not great.
