All there with ripe and balanced fruit, GSM South Africa style. Good persistency and fruit concentration without being weighty with a firm nod at the Southern Rhone.

Racy, ripe wine, starts out hot and lacking bridge between initial flavor and back pallet but left open for a while it becomes integrated and refreshing
