TASTING NOTES
Pinotage in modern mode; a juicy mouthful of fragrant, ripe blackberries and blackcurrants with a whiff of oak spice an attractive extra. Enjoyable drinking now thanks to the sweet, succulent fruit, the variety’s dense, resonant though well-integrated tannins add welcome structure and some future potential.
