85 to 89 very good
90 to 94 excellent
95 to 100 outstanding
A real blast of syrah black pepper and smoke joins intense raspberry and rhubarb in this tasty little number. All kinds of vitality and fragrance, with just a touch of the Cape’s good meaty character, as well. Slim, fruity and sweetish, with fine tannin. Chill ever so slightly and drink any time; no aging required. LCBO 610949
