Kanonkop Black Label Pinotage 2020

Deep purple in colour, with a concentrated, rich profile of red and black cherries, dark plums, sweet spice and dark chocolate notes from the French oak. Notes of dry earth and cured meats adds to the wines complexity. The seamlessly integrated oak and velvety tannins gives structure to the sultry fruit core. The perfect balance of elegance and complexity- iron fist in a velvet glove!
