Smooth and spicy wine stronger than regular wine. Darker flavors with hints of chocolate flavors

Babel 2013 Babel from Babylonstoren of South Africa! WOW!!!! This is a winner, and for the price -25 dollars, its amazing! The cork is in excellent condition. The color is jet black purple. The bouquet is spicy chamomile and earth. The initial palate is red raspberry and buttery sweet chocolate. The finish is blueberry and pepper with a long tail. There is absolutely no acidity nor tannic tang! It does leave your mouth dry, but not too dry! Its almost a cross between a cab and a pinot! I love this wine!
