Rich, fruit-forward South African blend
The colour is a deep, rich ruby.
On the nose, you get a mix of ripe black fruits, such as blackberry and black cherry, interwoven with notes of tobacco, cedar, and a hint of spice.
The palate is well-balanced, with lush flavors of dark fruit (blackcurrant and blackberry), gentle notes of dark chocolate, warm spices, earthy notes, soft / medium tannins and medium acidity.
The finish is medium.
