Luscious, rich, creamy, chocolatey, velvety. Perhaps a little unbalanced, favouring sweetness over acidity. But this minor flaw (for me) is more than compensated for by a gorgeously opulent density and depth of flavour. There's also a distinct sense of place and uniqueness that is much to be encouraged. Very much enjoyed this.

A bit imprecise (‘flabby’ was used in earlier comments) when coming out of the bottle. An hour of air, perhaps some food, puts it in the right direction. Patience pays. Not overly complex but a nice wine to drink.

Really dark bottle, was difficult to decant, lots of fine sediment. Good dark fruit bouquet. The palate was smooth but a bit flabby. Over extracted, needed more acidity. Not memorable. Shame, I was expecting much more

Great wine! Complex and well balanced. Purchased one bottle a the winery for 250 Rand. Fantastic value for money. They called it their ”everyday wine”. Looking forward to some time try de Trafford high end!

Classy Syrah, very smooth, with plums and dark berry fruit, hints of spice, dusty tannins and a long bright red cherry finish.
