| TASTING NOTE: The 2015 Skaapveld Shiraz was 50% matured in oak barrels for 12 months, the remainder used. It has a composed blackberry and cassis-scented bouquet with a subtle floral note that develops in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, nicely judged acidity and well-integrated oak that allows the dark berry fruit to show through. There is a hint of white pepper on the aftertaste, completing a well-made Syrah that should drink well for 3-4 years. Drink Date: 2018-2025. Score - 90 (Neal Martin, robertparker.com, April 28, 2017) |
