WO Western Cape
KWV
Dark cherry red in the glass.
Quite smoky, tangy, cherry, brett with some chocolate on the nose.
Thick in the mouth, charred-roasted notes, spicy, black cherry and sour cherry, cranberry, some brett, tangy acidity, red licorice, crisp, with a real edge.
Mouthwatering and apples on the finish.
I really didn't care for this wine, although my wife liked it much more than I did and I have enjoyed previous vintages more.
I found the bitter burned notes aned the sharp acidity to be quite wearing in a fairly short amount of time. This wine has been praised by local critics for its mocha-chocolate aspects, but I didn't find any of that here.
Purchased at $13.95 (Canadian).
