  Ripe bouquet shows matchstick reduction and a whole lot of earth. The palate is tight and astringent, more earthy than fruity, with tongue staining dark fruit, currants, cranberries, and some tannic grip on the finish. I expected more.

  Very good wine but a bit pf a curveball, nose fools me for SA pinotage. So good on its own but i would not take it for a typical st. Estephe.

  Chateau Le Boscq with 55% CS, 40% M and 5% Petit Verdot showed typically dark and rustic with earth, black fruits and spices. Thanks to the 2011 vintage characteristics, this wine was already quite approachable. Medium-bodied, while lacking juice and density.

  Blind tasting of Grand Cercle wines 2011 vintage: Part II (Château Bellefont-Belcier): Sweet fruit on the nose. This has some body although lacks enough concentration to get a high score, with a somewhat diluted finish.
