Subtle currant and blackberry on the nose, something vegetal, maybe green pepper. Black pepper spice. Velvety tannins with a little juicy end. Even better as it opens up. — 4 years ago

Earthy and wet, with a hint of ash and smoke on the nose. Cherry cola pop after a good agitation. Great balanced tannins with a long smooth finish. After a good 20 minutes, the tannins mellowed and the finish held it’s ground. Shared a bottle at Wine DOC with Gail. — 7 years ago

Enjoyed a bottle with my brother and sister in law on a Capetown trip to Bo-Kaap. Great back story regarding the winemaker and the secret varietals used in this blend. Medium bodied red with aromas of dark cherry, cedar and smoke. Initial soft dry tannins opened up beautifully into softer, more mellow tannins after about 20 mins in the glass. Good luck guessing the varietals! — 7 years ago

Very nice red blend. I laid this down for a couple years and pretty sure it would be good for a few more years. With or without food, it goes great with an episode of GOT. Distinctly earthy, a hint of smoke and subtle dark berries. — 6 years ago
