Dec 27th, 2016Whow solid 3,75 + extra for PQR, great Bordeaux blend from SA. Beautiful example of amazing PQR, maybe not so finesse in details but, nose, body, fruit, balance, tannins acidity are in equilibrium. Maybe just bitter green pepper goes a bit foreground. Black Cherry, leather, it 😠in the glass but without alcohol burn, solid red with black tea/cherry finish. Medium+ tannins, medium acidity. 42% CS, 24% Petit Verdot, 12% Merlot, 11% Malbec & 11% Cabernet Franc.
