Darkish Burgundian purple. Spicy wood notes against rich plum and berry fruit, with typical restrained 'fynbos' aromatic notes. Dry, soft fruit-encased tannins follow spicy/fruit-sweet entry, understated and balanced, medium-bodied with a nice spicy length. Impressive for consistency, given the volume produced of this specific vintage, a wine made to drink young.
Ideal with venison, red meat, curries and spicy foods.
