Pinotage 2007
Simonsberg, Stellenbosch, South Africa
14%.

C: Dark red.
N: Blackberries, with a hint of banana.
P: About 20 min to open. Red fruit, hint of sweetness. Very slightly drying at first, but blew off. No noticeable tannins. A touch of spice. Medium-heavy. Lovely lift and length, complex flavor, drinks beautifully. A new world style, but I like it. Exc-.

Anybody else had this? Or other good Pinotage (IIRC it doesn’t have much of a rep)?

Kanonkop makes the best Pinotage I’ve had, and I’ve tried some terrible ones. Kadette is a Pinotage blend they make that’s good too.
