Loads of black pepper and foliage notes unfold in the bouquet here, with supporting aromas of bacon, game and red plum skins. The fruit is a bit more assertive in the satiny mouth, with plum flesh and ripe cherry lifting the cured meat character. A superb value that’s complex yet approachable.

Scents of cured meat and campfire take center stage on the nose, with secondary support from black plum and boysenberry aromas. A strong biltong and cardamom-spice flavor carries through onto the palate, and remains through the finish.
