Darling Cellars Reserve Old Blocks Pinotage
Darling Cellars Reserve Old Blocks Pinotage
This wine is very expressive and complex on the nose with flavours of red berries, black cherries, vanilla, butterscotch, red plums, coffee and nuances of strawberries. On the palate the flavours follow through with good structure and silky tannins. A well balanced wine with elegance and a lengthy aftertaste.
