  I do love South African Bordeaux blends and this one is very nice.
  
  Lots of oak on the nose, palate of dark fruit, chocolate, spice and violets. This is super smooth with balanced tannins. Lovely long finish.
  
  Drinking this is like sitting in your favourite armchair comfy and reassuring. For QPR this a great wine tho I still think John X Merriman is better.

  Dark color with no signs of ageing. Wonderful aromatic nose with components of iron, blood, berries as well as some bell pepper. Sweet upon entry and a rather heavyweight in terms of stuffing, posture, fruit and that unmistakable SA funk. Tannins are there but hardly noticeable while the primary fruit is still here. Drank on its own, which gave me lots of pleasure, but this will easily match meat dishes of various preparation. Although not particularly complex compared to well bred Bordeaux GCC, I’m beginning to like South African Cabernet Sauvignon wines more than I used to. They bring a welcome variation to the glass and the palate!
