Wonder full wine. Black currant, vanilla, black pepper. With its age earthy and gamey tones are becoming present. The mouth feel is my favorite part of the wine. The tannins are present but at the same time soft and velvety. I would pair this with roasted Lamb.

Very earthy and smoky. lots of pepper, tobacco, black currants, rich, warm spices, Smoother than expected on the palate, bright berry, nice tannin to stand up to red meats. Nice acid, long finish. Very nice. (April 2016)

91/100 with the following review:
Black cherry, blueberry, plum, dusty spices, and a touch of India ink. Quite deep and complex. The taste is full bodied dark berries, grippy tannins with some age on them, and a bit of the India ink coming through as well. Perfect for hearty stews.

Black pepper and cassis on the nose. Terrific well rounded in the mouth with good balance overall. Again with the cassis notes and some blackberry, plum and chocolate. Pair with duck a l'orange and grilled pork chops with plums

89/100 with the following review:
Alex: Complex nose here, tobacco, cassis, tree bark, violets and a touch of mulch. Developing into maturity. Sweet black fruits on the palate, lean and sappy, with a herbal accent. Moderate finish but in fine harmony. Impressive at $21. 90pts
Priya: Smells like a basket full o berries to me! Tastes drier than that but it's got a nice, full body which is just what I like. 88pts

A wonderful full bodied wine. Black current, spice and smoke. Nice long finish with a tanning pull.
Tasted April 3/16

88/100 with the following review:
Nice full style without being overdone. Smooth - perhaps in it's peak now. Just a hint of S. African earthiness for complexity.
Philippe Perreault rated this wine as
87/100 with the following review:
In this wine they use mainly Bordeaux's grapes, included Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc.
Deep garnet color!
That's a full bodied wine with notes of licorice, black currant, cigar box, smoke and spice.
It's very long and complex on the palate.
Serve it at 15-17 degrees.
Can be aged 6-8 years.
Pair it with duck breast with mushroom sauce!
