Audacia Jeté non vintage

Variety: 58% Merlot, 40% Malbec, 2% Cabernet Franc
  Country of origin: South Africa
Wine appellation: Stellenbosch
Vintage: vintage is not stated
Alcohol content: 13.5%
Color: medium ruby red
Bouquet: expressive, wood, smoke, red berries, sour cherries
Taste: medium body, very big fruit, sour cherries, black currant, quite good acidity, medium to longer finish
Overall score: 4+8+12+6+6=86
Price: CZK 200
Stopper: cork (micro agglomerated)
This is positive surprise to me. I like the wood excellently combined with huge fruit. Nicely done red in Bordeaux style, maybe just slightly less dry than Bordeaux and more fruity. Although vintage is not stated I would say this is younger wine, not older than 2010.
