This is simply a top example of this varietal, and a very decent QPR - Very dark, concentrated, notes of plum, bell pepper, cedar and oak on the nose, decent tannic structure with excellent length, should be ordered by the case (91 Points).

Almost perfect from our standpoint, we just love this wine - It's dark purple, almost black, very concentrated with extreme fruit, spice and oak notes on the nose, it's very smooth on the palate with a long finish, simply excellent (93 Points).

Fabulous, a definite 'hit' at the gathering last night, it was very concentrated deep purple, with big fruit nose with cedary accents, smooth on the palate with good length, excellent! (92 Points).

No previous experience with this varietal so hard to judge. Smells like pinotage with some funky iodine/rubber. Fruit aromas are lush. Big rich palate of fruit with smooth tannins (much less grippy than I expected). Very nice length. Have to give it a thumbs up but hold off on a score until I can compare it to something else.
