@David L this is one of the wines we were talking about from the Cape Winemakers Guild and it's still a baby.
Fourth red wine of the night. Super dark, deep garnet and ruby red. Slightly tight with lovely earthiness, a little greenery and bright red cherries. Moderate plus tannins (7.5/10) with an insane backbone and structure from acidity. Full bodied with tons of red cherries and dark cocoa. Needs a ton of time but in a few years this will be singing. Long and lingering finish. Drink from 2018 till 2038. (94+)
