| THE FAT MAN PINOTAGE 2018 WO Western Cape |
| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
Old Road Wine |
| Super juicy and ready-to-drink, this crowd-pleaser with its hints of mocha-chocolate will resonate with many. Deep intense purple colour. Attractive, very spicy, intense, ripe, plum-cherry-cassis purée nose with some cedar-sandalwood and mocha-chocolate notes. Dry, medium bodied, quite well structured, spicy, tangy, intense, ripe, plummy-crancherry flavours with a lingering, fairly high acid, gently cedary, mineral-iodine-tinged finish. Has 14% alcohol and 5 g/L residual sugar with lot number L19129 on the back label. Screwcap closure. Has not appeared in Vintages before. |

| TASTING NOTE: The Fat Man honours a local legend: a fellow who, along with his dog, would greet all comers to the Franschhoek train station, offering a friendly smile and an interesting anecdote. The wine is intense and textured, with forward fruit and spice. A great value. (Vintages panel, June 2019) [Michelangelo International Wine & Spirits Awards did not include a tasting note.] Score - Gold (Michelangelo International Wine & Spirits Awards, 2019) |
