The Sadie wines are treasures. Eben Sadie makes wine in the ways I’d make wine. Treinspoor is something unique. I’d be shocked if anyone could call the grape blind though it makes sense after you think about it. Tinta Barocca is usually made for Port and you can draw the link to prune, plumb, raisins, spruce, and oak. Bone dry, fleshy tannins.

Slightly dusky in colour, un-bright, brooding, Victoria plum on nose, smoked bacon, dusty, whiff of aniseed. Smooth front mid palate dominates. Quite mono dimensional. Little finish. Moderate acidity. Interesting wine.
