Douglas Green Pinotage 2003

Colour: Attractive deep crimson colour with blue tinges and a purple hue.
Nose: Attractive vanilla spice aromas intermingled with ripe strawberry and raspberry fruit complexity.
Palate: Soft smooth medium bodied entry bursting into juicy red berry flavours with vanilla and spice nuances and a delicious soft aftertaste.
Overall: A medium bodied, lush, fruit driven wine with a soft juicy structure that is playful on the palate and extremely approachable for youthful undemanding drinking.
