Deep, dark nose: A tiny tad oxidized but nice hints of smoke and ink. Good clean fruit with some lavender, violet and rubber (in a good way. . .). Tangy and chewy on the tongue. A heavy wine but not syrupy. Nice linger of licorice and dried fruits. Nice use of the blending. Best South African wine I've had thus far.
