Sk'windjiesvlei Tinta Barocca, A.A. Badenhorst 2020

Tasting Notes

Intense sweet fruit on 2020 but quite savoury; rich, with big dry tannin structure that asks for years in bottle, though, like all these ageworthy wines, approachable in youth, partly thanks to balance & relative lightness (this 13% alcohol).

Very pure fruit with dried cherry, fresh walnut and some dried earth. It’s medium-bodied with light tannins and bright, juicy fruit on the finish. Lightly bitter and smoky at the end. Drink now.
