Lots of oak, lots of char, cinnamon and spice. The 120 ABV kicks like a mule. A splash of water opens this up with a bit of dark fruit. — 7 years ago
Enjoyed this in their Taylor Texas tasting room in the middle of the day in July. Very nice and smooth. — 8 years ago
This wine is an absolute winner. Goes with any dish, great quaffing wine, perfect for friends & family. You're a knob if you paying more than R40/bottle. Lookout for specials. Boekenhoutskloof, you biscuits!! — 9 years ago

This was a delightful chorus of midweight emotion and balanced verve. The Chambourcin indeed adds a front/mid palate variation to the routine Bordeaux blending recipe. A touch of Rhône is revealed! — 7 years ago

This is really good. Unlike the crown royal maple that is only really good for sauteing apples for pork chops, this stuff is great to drink. — 9 years ago
Very easy drinking red blend. Big fan — 9 years ago
Wow! Varietally correct and taste of terroir, this has all the guts for a gold medal: vibrant acidity, firm tannins, and sturdy black cherry/cran sweetness. Glad I have one more in the cellar - opening in 2017-18 — 9 years ago
Fruity and full bodied. — 10 years ago

The form factor yields a more mature and balanced offering than that of the N 39. Would not be disappointed having this as a budget wine at a restaurant – stays in its lane and has no harsh/offputting elements. It’s main drawback is it’s lack of nuance and sophistication — 6 years ago
