South Africa$11.95
Smoky and meaty, with leathery notes, blackberry, and spices. Lots of ripe fruit on the palate with softening tannins, but some bitterness that is distracting.

Prunes, plums, tobacco, and smokiness on the nose. It is medium-bodied with some harsh tannins that does not quite have the fruitiness to keep it balanced.
