Medium plus nose feels Chilean, green pepper, menthol, black plum, eucalyptus. Palate is more expected, dry style, medium bodied, fair amount of red fruit for Cabernet, dried spice, herbal tones. Not at all CA style, not really Bordeaux either, feels a little bit like rustic Australian style. Interesting selection.

Interesting Blackberries, easy drinking and different from a CA cab. Balanced all the way through...South African modern...by the glass at Jones Family LDN...

Bought in Cape Town earlier this year. 18 months used barriques maturation.
3h decant, which given the young age can be considered a minimum. On day 1 lots of green pepper (!), black berries, oak, pepper, leather, and tobacco. On day 2 mostly black berries and tertiary notes (pepper and tobacco). Wonderful Cab! This bottle had 93p Atkin and 4.5* Platter stickers on it.

Very young and needs time. Red cherry, red currant, blackberry, some green pepper. Next bottle to be opened in 5 years.
