Zevenwacht The Tin Mine Stellenbosch 2009 86 Points
Intriguing blend of Syrah, Mourvedre, Grenache Noir and Primitivo.
Ruby red with slight purple rim.
Clean, high intensity, ripe red fruits medley, peppery, spicy with leathery character, pure fruited, hints of almonds milk, integrated oak.
Dry with dash residual sugar, juicy and powerful, richly structured, fresh with moderate acidity, black olives character, alcohol is very high though at 14.5% abv, noticeable with slight chest burn, massage tannins, good lenght, has personality!
