Medium to deep garnet red. Layered nose with damp earthy notes, cherries, light black fruits, a touch stinky and floral. Medium tannins (6/10), solid acidity and medium to medium plus finish. Well rounded palate with black cherries, earthy notes, petroleum, a touch floral and light sweet spice undertones. Dry and long finish. Impress but expected for this high-end Bordeaux-blend from Kanonkop Wine Estate. Drink till 2020.
