powerful and initially brooding but aeration brings up alluring cassis

Plenty of secondary and sous-bois notes are present on the cool

clean finish

Boekenhoutskloof, Syrah other_regions_italy orange peel and earth leadsAll 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)
