On the nose the wine is likely pronounced and dark-fruited, with blackcurrant, blackberry and black cherry at the core, supported by ripe plum and mulberry. Subtle layers of tobacco leaf, earthy spice, cocoa, pencil shavings and a hint of black pepper would add complexity, echoing its Bottelary granite soils and time in French and Hungarian oak. On the palate it would be dry, full-bodied and richly textured, showing dense flavours of dark berries and cherries framed by firm but ripe tannins and fresh, medium+ acidity. Notes of spice, tobacco, dark chocolate and a light savoury, earthy grip would shape a long, warming finish, suggesting the wine can comfortably develop in bottle over the next several years.
