Sweet cassis, tobacco, black chocolate and old leathery bouquet. Quite seductive nose, balanced and charming. The palate is silky, ripe and rich berries with overtones of spices and mint. Transitions in the palate is seamless with a deep and lingering finish. Strength of this wine is in balancing the different components in the structure. Probably another 8-10 years to go.

Nez et robe intense. Aux arômes de boisé, fruits murs, cèdre et chocolat. Bel équilibre, rond et très riche en bouches. Pourrait vieillir encore quelque année.

Powerful sweet black fruits on the nose. Really lush texture with generous black fruits and a hint of cedar and tobacco. Maybe loses a little clarity and direction in the finish.

That is a big wine. Big for SA. Really rich and powerfully fruit. Still has some of the SA funk on the nose.
