powerful and initially brooding but aeration brings up alluring cassis

drink it anytime over the coming decade

muscular and well-defined flavors that display fine power on the youthfully austere

orange peel and earth leads to round

all wrapped in a mochainflected finish

Boekenhoutskloof, Syrah other_regions_italy powerful and initially brooding butAll own vines since 2015. 80% from the top of Porseleinberg, 20% from Goldmine. 40% whole bunches. Floral overtones with gentle garrigue notes, bacon fat and smoky, black, berry fruits. Subtle chocolate notes from oak. Fairly full bodied, but with brisk acidity that enlivens the palate. Powdery tannins give structure. Terrific, elegant, white pepper laced finish. (TJ)
