Very complex and interesting.... Nose: Apple cider and raisins. Notes of cherry, dark chocolate early, with tobacco on the mid palette and finished with orange and cranberry. Great wine. I wish I had more of this vintage. I just purchased 2 of the 2006, so I will have to wait and see if it is similar.

Dark red. Smoky, meaty black cherry. The palate attacks with tart black cherry which becomes smoky on the mid palate and finish. Layers of smoky bacon in there too. Perhaps some meringue on the finish too. Undeniably warm, heavy hitting, tannic and full bodied but a little bit of freshness there. A crowd pleaser, plenty of flavour.

I have had better Pinotage. I brought this one back from SA. Very ripe fruits. Good aromas, but lacking overall balance.
