Cape Bordeaux blend, almost hitting all the right notes. The nose is beautiful, offering aromas of blackcurrant, cedar, and hints of violets. Deep purple in color, this wine shows well-integrated tannins and balanced acidity. On the palate, flavors of black cherry, cassis, and subtle oak spices create a harmonious profile. While the finish is long and pleasant, it lacks a bit of the excitement promised by the nose. Nevertheless, it’s a solid representation of South African red blends.
