Spier Creative Block 5 2010

Tygerberg, Coastal Region, South AfricaSmoky leather, spicy, cedar, cassis, black olive, vanilla, green bean, vanilla and menthol aromas with a hint of leather and prune. Fresh, round, juicy, dry palate with light, grainy tannins. Peppery, smoky, coffee, vanilla, cedar, menthol, cassis, black cherry, earthy, meaty, vanilla flavours with a bit of olive, medicinal and smoked meat on the finish. Cooler style with some finesse but could use another one to three years to better integrate the oak and tannins.Tasted: 05 May 2014Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
