Some interesting flavor profiles in here. Tar, tobacco, rose petals. It has a nice structure and good oak to round it out so that its not too sharp. Some eucalyptus. Not a ton of fruit.

Their signature red wine. Dark fruit, earthy, savory, eucalyptus. M+ tannin. Give it a little time.

Wow. South African value that swings for the fences. Big time concentration, density, mouthwatering purple fruits and sharp tannins. I got the last bottle of this at the store. If you see it, grab a few.
