Malt

Single malt from India?!? Wow. Very complex with spice and cloves up front, a butts of citrus and honey on the mid palate and a long spicy-sweet finish. A total chameleon. — 10 years ago

Like most wines in today's line-up: marred by alcohol...
Loved the aromatics, quite evolved already...

I know a few of you know about the Cape Winemakers Guild. If not I highly recommend trying to hunt them down or make it out to SA for it.



Deep garnet ruby red. A bit stinky on the nose with savory, meaty, and gamey notes. A touch smoky too with a touch of sweet spices and red berries undertone. Heavy tannins (7/10) and full bodied. Dark fruit on the attack with solid stoney notes. Some sweet spices too and more red fruits coming through. Long and lingering finish. Drink till 2027.

Pale gold color. Upfront aromas of incense, cedar, green grass, hay, green tea, vanilla bean, coconut, and cereal. Mouthfeel is voluptuous. Some dry tannins in the back palate. Flavors are similar, with apple and creme brûlée hints on the tongue. Long finish! — 10 years ago
