Colour: Deep rich ruby red with gradation to a lighter edge
Nose: Open upfront with cracked black and white pepper spice, hints of chocolate smokiness, underlying mulberry fruit with floral nuances of violets and dried fynbos.
Palate: Full bodied elegance with mulberry and fresh ripe plum flavours, well-integrated wood, black pepper spice and fine ripe smooth but firm tannins and a pleasant persistently long aftertaste
Overall: A well integrated full bodied wine, of which the smooth roundness belies the ageing potential. Rich in mulberry and ripe plum fruit flavours intermingled with floral nuances of violets and indigenous fynbos.
