A juicy smooth dark fruit mash-up. All primary fruits without much underlying complexity. Concentrated, but not overly intense or extracted. Good balanced structure with plenty of acidity to balance out the little bit of tannin that is present. All-in-all, very enjoyable.

Big, inky black, and jammy. Aromas and flavors of baked cherry, stewed plum, smokey blackberry, and toasted vanilla. Straight forward and primary, no complexity, all fruit. Structured but tannins seem to be acceptable. Decent finish. Enjoyed with Memphis style rib bits and BBQ salad.

although this wine could use another few months to age to perfection; the wine is still beautiful and up to Van Staden's standard. Definitely recommend.
