See previous note 106 weeks ago. Dense crimson black. Quite ripe fruit on nose and palate. Lovely richness without excessive weight. Finishes dry. Medium minus acid. Georgie said some Animale note with white pepper. In our blind tasting options, Barb and Georgie thought this was Australian which was a fair assumption. Excuse the water damaged label.

Dense Ruby with a purple rim. Blue and black fruits with a smoky note. On the palate sweet plum and blackberry notes - a nice balance between fruit and savoury factors. Medium bodied finishing with fluid soft tannins of medium minus intensity - largely resolved. Could be Australian in a blind tasting. Probably one of South Africa’s better Syrahs - a country that produces better Cabernet in my experience. A quality Syrah. I was hoping to be able to pronounce the name as we enjoyed tasting the bottle but at the finish it still eluded me. 😉. Tasted again 106 weeks later on 2nd January 2023 with consistent notes.
