The nose reveals, jammy red fruits; blackberries, black raspberries, touch of black plum, blue & purple fruits and baked strawberries. Dark, rich, dark soils, crushed dry rocks, vanilla, black licorice, dark berry cola, touch of band aid, dark spice with, bright, fresh, red, dark and purple flowers.

The body restrained for Syrah. The tannins are fine, firm, weighty and sticky. Jammy red fruits; blackberries, black raspberries, touch of black plum, blue & purple fruits and baked strawberries. Dark, rich, dark soils, crushed dry rocks, vanilla, black licorice, dark berry cola, touch of band aid, dark spice with, bright, fresh, red, dark and purple flowers. The acidity is good. The finish will take some time to flush out and wine to better ingrate.

Photos of; Keermont property as viewed from the top of their hillside vineyards, cellar concrete & stainless steel tanks and one of the many snakes that live on the property. This one passed by while Alex was showing us his vineyard. And, yes, his venom is toxic and could end your life if not treated straight away.

16/20 (89/100) Вино заметно постарело, появились тона чернослива и сушеных фиников, есть варенье из чёрных ягод. Тельное с довольно высокой кислотностью, танины бархатистые. Всё ещё приятно пить, но уже не так впечатляет.

17/20 (92/100) Легкий, но насыщенный аромат с тонами красной сливы, черешни, молочного шоколада и чёрного перца. Довольно тельное и кислотное с интенсивными, бархатистыми по текстуре танинами, ещё чуть суховатыми. Насыщенное во вкусе. Отлично! #capewine2018
