Oh no - broke my corkscrew, so at least this wine had a screw cap. Medium extracted pigment, purple-red in color. Slightly skunky note in nose. Banana (which blew off quickly) and soft cherry flavors in mouth; ten minutes later blackberry and black currant flavors emerged. Some medium-weight skin tannin across palate and front of tongue on finish, but a bit of aeration tempered those tannins into a soft mouthfeel. Past its prime, but typically a solid and super cheap choice if drunk quicker than I did here.

Easy-drinkable fruity wine with spicy and tobacco hints. Great for chocolate dessert or BBQ with your friends!

Nice ruby in color with a light ruby rim.

Stinky on the nose with plums, blueberries, barnyard, raspberries, earth, wet leaves, wood, spices, tobacco leaf, light vanilla, vegetables and bitter herbs.

Medium bodied with medium plus acidity and long legs.

Tart on the attack and dry on the palate with plums, sour cherries, licorice, vegetables, earth, peppercorn, leather, smoke and dark chocolates.

Medium finish with soft tannins and tart strawberries.

A drinkable Red wine from South Africa. Nice for everyday, and better to be accompanied with food. Simple with a soft mouth feel and unbalanced.

I had it by itself, and it got to be tart after 30 minutes of airtime. So drink quickly...

14% alcohol by volume.

This is a unique wine. Have re-purchased this wine four or five times already. It would be a great wine to add to a flight.

Easy drinking but needs 10-15 to open up and show its depth.
