Vintage 2014 / This wine has Bordeaux characteristics: laurel, pencilshaving, red fruit, but is also has tastes ‘hot’ why tasting blind you should not place it there. Good wine to fool people with.

Finally a South African wine that I really enjoyed. Black plum, currant, anise, bell pepper, vanilla, cinnamon and cardamom aromas working nicely together with enough acid to balance the grippy tannins.
