Wildekrans Estate Barrel Selection Osiris Bot River Pinotage

Dark ruby red with cherry rim

Clean, showy style, moderate plus intensity, lots of new oak, probably a combination of American and French, shadowing very ripe dark red fruits, slight jaminess, very high alcohol of 14.5%abv noticeable on the nose, spicy, earthy, multilayered.

Dry with dash residual sugar, juicy, good extraction though, fresh with medium plus acidity, some savoriness, full bodied with very high alcohol and oak carries through, black olives note, plush tannins with slight bitterness on back palate, persistent, now until 2018
