It’s a dark wine, almost inky, with a fantastically funky nose. The dark fruit sort of waves as it goes by, while the smell of meat just stands there and stares at you. There is a hint of pepper, a dash of mint, but that smoky, meaty smell really dominates. On the palate, a dark, brooding plum and blackberry combination put up a little more of a fight against the earthy, meaty flavors. It’s really a great tasting wine.

Very bright. Needs air time, then gets beautiful.

Really well made and promising. A perfect introduction for a skeptic of African wine.

Don’t like it, too heavy for me even with lamb chop

Good Syrah. Not the best bottle of wine we've ever had though.

Not bad. Not worthy of a case though. It's a Syrah that could easily pass for a light bodied petite Syrah.
