Hidden gem from my cellar. It was in amazing conditions, Nice combination of smoke and fruit. Total scores were placing is just after Andeluna, although I would say it is rather different wine with less jammy character and more spice and more European feel. I remember buying this wine in 2004 in Caper Town and I did not know what to expect from it when pulling up the cork due ti its 11 years of aging, but the result surprised me so much.
