90 to 94 excellent
95 to 100 outstanding
Very good value. Quite rich and remarkably complex $10 red. Typical Cape aromas of smoked meat and bacon, iodine, earth, cherry pie and clove. Quite full bodied, smooth and warm
(14 per cent alcohol), with good acidity. Very good length.
Now to 2011. LCBO 610915
