Light purple, faint hint on the edge of maturity. Nose after the P&P opening up, earth & leather tones, dried fruit. Nice mouthfeel, glycerin ever so smooth, nice sweet jammy feeling strawberries with tobacco filling the palate, tannins light & dusty drying & sweeping in. Smokey oaky lingering taste. Med finish, otherwise a point higher. Seems this can go a few more years, even develop a bit more, but drinking great now.

2001 ABSA Top 10 Pinotage (Wine-pages.com SuperBOWL, Glasgow): Deep and young. More interesting nose - cherry/plum and hedgerow. Good attack. Forward fruit. Rich and mouth filling. Big and v. alcoholic in mouth. Nice fairly soft tannins. Much more fruit on the finish.
