This was excellent. Most acidity has disappeared but enough fruit to carry the day. An incredible blackberry jam and banana purée combo. I know, sounds weird but it’s really nice.

Third wine and second red wine at our annual DMV South Africa Tasting. Deep ruby core with lighter edges. A little mute to start on the nose with some smokiness, dark blackberries, spices and cedar. Medium tannins (6.5/10), solid acidity and medium plus to full bodied. A bit reserved on the palate to start. Darker in the palate than the nose with dark blue and black berries, and spices. Fruitier on day two. Long and lingering finish. Still seems to have quite a bit of life left in it. Drink till 2026.
