4 star - John Platter Guide 2005.
Encapsulates the essence of Pinotage: smokey, mulberry bouquet - almost gamily intense, mouth-coating, elegant flavour, with sweet berries, structured soft ripe tannins and extract. Like 2001, spicy, cinnamon tones, fruitcake flavours, well refined and soft profile makes this now eminently drinkable. Fermented with native yeasts, 16 months in French oak, from 30 year old single vineyard.
Far be it for us to tell you what food you will enjoy with the wine, however we have enjoyed it with game, lamb and other meat dishes. With age it will mature further and compliment any main course.
