| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
KANONKOP |
| Deep purple-ruby colour. Bight, fairly intense, attractive, ripe, Damson plum nose with cassis and black cherry fruit along with some gently complex, smoky-savoury notes. Dy, medium bodied, well structured, quite rich and rounded with ripe dark plum fruit along with some crancherry notes followed up lingering, gently cedary, faintly earthy, minerally, smoke-tinged finish. This well-priced totally new blend of 44% Pinotage, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc was matured for 12 months in 2nd and 3rd fill 225L French Nevers oak barrels. It has 14% alcohol and 2 g/L residual sugar with lot number 24710 on the back label. |

| TASTING NOTE: My favourite of the Kadette reds - and it's a wine that I drink often at home - this is a gloriously accessible 1.7 million bottle red based on Pinotage with 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Smooth and appealing with graphite-laced tannins, some earth and tobacco leaf notes, red berry and plum fruit and a hint of wood. Drink date: 2021-2027. Score - 92 (timatkin.com, South Africa Special Report 2021) |
