Strong tannins on the nose. Medium to full bodied. Higher acidity. Hints of cherry, leather and yeast, due in part to winemaking techniques synonymous to this wine. Allow some time to breathe, but truly a really nice, robust wine. — 7 years ago
I cannot believe how good this is! $20? Are you kidding me? So balanced. Was in great shape even after two days in a decanter. If I can get my hands on some more, I might have to #alternativefact down some of these bottles! — 8 years ago

I believe this was the first of the Foxes. Chris Mullineux makes if. Pascal sells it. And the third fox, Pascal's brother... drinks it? Just a touch of Cabernet in the blend, but with it's age, it's really starting to show itself, adding a tobacco-tinged elegance. — 11 years ago
17.5/20 (93/100) Элегантный аромат с нотами цветов, вишни, малины и намеком на ваниль. Умеренные тельность и кислотность. Довольно интенсивные, замшевые танины. Приятное, комплексное вино. #capewine2018 — 6 years ago
