I love this! It shows complete aromatic integration of blackberry, wild flowers and vanilla, all delivered in dry style on the palate with a firm grip, gentle pepper and just the slightest ironite note that lets you know where it’s from without overwhelming things. It disappears in the finish, leaving great fruit and spice push. This will age a bit, and it’s a bargain at this price. Lovely! Contains 70% Pinotage, 23% Cabernet Sauvignon and 7% Merlot.
