Legends of the Labyrinth Dark Lady Pinotage 2015

LYouthful purple, fresh in colour. A coffee, mocha explosion with dark chocolate, rich black fruit, almonds and black cherries on the nose. All these elements follow through adding complexity and depth on the palate. Light to medium body with firm, well integrated tannins. Lovely fruit and wood balance, this wine is made to enjoy young.

pServe with rich Christmas pudding, chocolate confectioneries, Duck a l'orange, Ostrich and most rich meat dishes./p
