  Part of a Mulderbosch treo. Initially this was second choice, after 2001, but after time as that faded, this became ascendant and more interesting. FASCINDATING how it developed,

  very dark, blackberry colour, completely not clear. nose: rhubarb - bit bland and sweet; generally delicate and not intense. taste: firstkly rather short but later when openes become of medium lenght. Smoky with black currant and with a lot of green notes. . Nice tannins though. This one definitly lacks balance. There is a lot happening in the glass but I am not sure if in good direction.

  This wine was just singing! Dark chocolate and tart red fruit on the nose and palate. Some green vegetal tones, smoke, spice, cocoa and freshly roasted coffee beans on the palate. Almost the sensation of a dark chocolate covered coffee bean. This is a smooth and nicely balanced wine; still exhibiting a solid backbone of acidity. Pleasant finish with the same dark chocolate and red fruits lingering nicely.

  I like this wine quite a bit. To me its interesting and different from so many wines. All in all a very enjoyable and well balanced blend.
  
  On the nose i get a lot of espresso and chocolate with some dark berries and a vegetal quality thats hard to put my finger (or nose) on.
  The wine is in the medium range on both tannins and length of finish.
  I get blackberry and greens up front with Milk chocolate on the mid-palate and a healthy dose of smoke and spice on the finish

  Staying with my notes from the first bottle drank a year ago. Not much change. Still a very nice wine with a smokey taste.
