We don't drink much South African wine...we don't drink much Pinotage, I decided to splurge on a reputable one.
A thick blackberry syrup kinda nose along with that famous burnt rubber smell - I drank this blind and the nose gave it away.
Interesting...a unique wine, more of that blackberry syrup on the palate, not much oak or tannin, but loads of acid, stone fruit, peachy, plummy, that whole thing, all with some chocolatey notes as well....
You guessed it, blackberry on the finish, as it fades some spicy qualities - mint, mostly - lingers. Not bad.
An interesting wine. Retail out here was $32, so that's certainly nothing to sneeze at, but if you want to try a nice version of this varietal, it may be worth your while.
Score: 89
