Thorny cassis, blackberry and black plum are framed by ample downy tannins and textured with a wash of smoked stone. There's an underlying salted black liquorice and dark chocolate padding out this medium/full red, one that freshens South Africa's classic Bordeaux blends for the modern drinker.Tasted: 28 October 2016Tasted by: Prices:
