Bosman Family Vineyards Wellington Pinotage 2009 83+ Points
Ruby red with slight brown rim.
Clean, ripe profile, old cape style, plums, cherries and mulberries, earthy, dried cured meat, slight alcohol burn, subtle spicy oaking, hints of graphitey elements, leathery.
Dry with medium plus acidity, fresh and savoury with crunchy medium tannins, almost chalky, hints of black olives note on texture, elegant extract with just the right punch, alcohol high though at 14% abv, lending a full bodied profile, long and persistent.now until 2021
Another testament Pinotage is suited for Wellington district
