Still very nice. Did not taste past its prime.

Nice wine, delicate, integrated tannins, fruit fading into secondary note. Time to drink now.

We always enjoy Mapema. Smooth black cherry, smooth finish. Full on the palate, nice finish.

South of the Equator Wines (Farpointe Cellar) : The nose had black cherry and raspberry, as well as a bit of mint and oak. The palate had sour cherry and mint, plus some floral notes. The finish was good.

Perfectly fine but not as complex as I had remembered. Good acidity, not overly ripe, probably just needs more time.

Although very multidimensional, there was something in the upper register, something slightly vegetal, that limited the appeal of this wine. Like, not love. Probably would have been better with food.
