Deep garnet red. Layered nose with earthiness, dried cherries and spices. Medium tannins (6/10) with a medium to medium plus body. A bit earthy and dry on the palate but opened up to leather, cherries and oak. Long finish. Drink till 2028.

Beautiful bottle of wine. Lives up to the name and the hype! 2 to 3 years left in the tank yet.

Medium garnet red with bricking on the edges. Very stinky and savory on the nose with a little bit of a dry rub, mint, herbal and stony. Medium tannins (5.5/10) and solid acidity. Nice mouthfeel on the palate on the back end. Earthy characteristics, savory and red cherries. Needs a bit of time to beef up and open up. Medium bodied and medium plus finish. Drink till 2024.

Minty on the nose without a doubt. Not sweet mint but a restrained dry mint. No other fruits on the nose. Initial very light cassis red berry on the initial attack. moderate body that is well integrated with classic SA acidity (although light and not overpowering) in the close. 866667

Still young and very likely will develop and improve. at the moment I found this rather muted.
