Dark purple. Abundant nose of black currant and graphite. Medium palate echoes the nose with medium plus acidity and medium plus tannins. Medium long finish. A tasty, South African Bordeaux style blend that’s fit for Sunday but priced for Thursday. Elegance without extravagance. Drink now through 2023.

This came recommended to me as a wine to pair with wild game. Had this with some venison red beans and rice and it was delicious.
