One of the great ‘icon’ red wines from South Africa. The nose is complex, showing blackcurrants, red cherries, cedarwood, graphite, and cigar box aromas. These develop in the glass and are joined by raspberry, black cherry, spice, and a hint of gaminess. On the palate, the wine is concentrated but elegant, with fine-grained tannins. These tannins soften even further in the glass, resulting in a luxurious wine with a long aftertaste.
