Description
PINOTAGE – SINGLE VINEYARD
Incredible rich black red colour-superb
balance. Concentrated dense fruit, great
complexity for a 2017 and it is just so
drinkable already.
It is a wine which want to be tasted again
and again. Good but not overwhelming
concentration of wood with lots of black
and red cherry and nice hints of
tobacco. Nice, elegant tannins makes this
wine perfectly nice and firm.
Should get better for another 12 years plus
due to its perfect balance
