Strong musty taste when first opened but needed time to breath. Much improved after being open for a couple of hours. Recommend a long decant (consistent with other reviews).

Nov 2019 : Vin décanté 3h. Bonne astringence avec des arômes de fumé, prune et cerise. Manque de complexité et de finesse. Peut encore, vieillir 3-5 ans note: 89
Juillet 2022 : Vin beaucoup plus rond. Sur la cerise et le boisé. décanté 1h. Se boit facilement. Note 90-91

A fresh take on SA’s classic Bordeaux, this winery has a terrific backstory: Purchase of this organic wine goes towards helping Reyneke’s family purchase homes & receive education! (IMHO, that alone is reason to score high)
Thorny cassis, blackberries & black plum on the nose. These are framed by copious fatherlike tannins & textured with a wash of smoked stone.
There is an underlying black liquorice & dark chocolate padding out this medium to full bodied red.
This one will go further - be sure to decant for 90 minutes.

Bu en succ.
Souple et dense avec un beau fruit et des
épices. Tanins charnus et finale assez longue.
Bien.
