Excellent with lamb kebabs
Scent of plum, blackberry, and peppercorn. Blackfruit flavors dominate the palate, with plum sauce, blackberry, and cocoa backed by firm, but ripe tannin, which is well integrated. Long finish.
4/22/8/5/4 + 50 = 93 pts.
This is great now, right out of the bottle.

The 2015 Dalem is fabulous. A rush of super-ripe black cherry, bittersweet chocolate, spice, menthol and licorice gives the wine its exotic, super-ripe personality. There is not a whole lot of subtlety here, but the 2015 exudes notable richness in a flamboyant style that offers tons of near- and medium-term appeal. Tasted two times.

Lovely dinner with close friends! Full bodied, silky smooth plum fruit with tobacco. Give this a few years and it will be golden.
