Simonsig Redhill Pinotage 2008
Aromas of mulberry and raspberry fruit suggested by serious, but subtle, spicy oak. Delicious density and persistence in a framework of fine grained tannins indicating great ageing potential.

Dense opaque colour with a distinctive ruby rim. The nose invites you to a playground filled with black and raspberry fruit. The wood component plays hide and seek leaving a mouth sensation filled with tantalising vanilla spice. Awesome depth and length of concentrated Pinotage urge you to enter this playground of unforgettable aromas. Forceful tannins on ripe 06 (****1/2 stars) surround dense core of ripe strawberry fruits, enticing perfumes of banana & coconut (ex-Am oak, 24%, rest Fr; 16 mths; all new); stunning now, cld show even better up to 10 yrs. 05 also elegant despite 15% alc (Platter 2009) |
