Dichte, tintige rote Farbe. Aromen von Leder, Vanille und Rooibos-Tee sind in einer komplexen Nase verwoben. Der Gaumen ist ein ziemlich muskulöser Rahmen, der einen eleganten Kern enthält; eher wie ein Balletttänzer. Die Tannine sind noch jugendlich und ausdauernd.

Dense, inky red color. Aromas of leather, vanilla and rooibos tea are interwoven in a complex nose. The palate is a fairly muscular frame that contains an elegant core; more like a ballet dancer. The tannins are still youthful and persistent.

Kräftige rubinrote Farbe, frische dunkelfruchtige Nase – Pflaumen, schwarze Kirschen und Cassis. Ein unterschwelliges Aroma von dunkler Schokolade. Am Gaumen ist er sehr geschmeidig und vollmundig. Die Frucht ist gut ausbalanciert mit subtilen Holzaromen, die schön und trocken ausklingen. Rianie Strydom hat eine Leidenschaft für das Blending und liebt klassische Weine im Bordeaux-Stil.
