So Bordeaux-like! A lot of soil character, plum and black currant, cigar box and mint leaf.

There's a lot going on here with 6 different varietals but it works. No complexity but a pretty solid QPR if you find yourself at a South African joint like I did tonight.

Nose: the bottom of an amazing barrel of wine. Taste: mind blowing. A flavor that doesn't disappear. It just keeps going on and on. Finish: a warm fluffy bed filled with sleepiness and content.

Delicious full bodied wine. Lots of dark bramble fruit and earthiness giving nice depth. Black pepper notes on the smooth finish.
