The South African Trophy Wine Show 2002 - Bronze
Intense deep red with good tone. Ripe, yet fresh fruit aromas of black and red berries and plus with underlying spiciness and a hint of cigarbox. Oak and fruit fragrances are well integrated and evenly balanced even at this early stage. Firm, yet soft ripe tannins, with a subtle sweetness on the palate entry. Rounded and ripe fruit flavours, with good intensity, given even more than the nose promises; well-integrated with the oak. Sweet memory of ripe fruits and tannins persisting for a long time on the palate. Should be excellent with most meats, venison, wildfowl, pasta and with a good cheese platter.
