Oldest from the 3 Pinotages this bottle is slightly restrained in the nose, but quite nice in the taste, there is good mix of fruit, coffee, vanilla and chocolate. It needs time to air, then it shows up. By very narrow distance this was the best bottle, slightly less expressive of Robertson 2007 in the nose, but more complex in the taste and finish.
