well-watered August

This too needs to add depth but there underlying material appears to be up to the task

and a second year in French oak barrels

the 2013 Pinot Noir Porcupine Hill knocks it out of the park with it intensity and depth

This is spectacularly dense

Boekenhoutskloof, Syrah other_regions_australia well-watered AugustAll own vines since 2015. 80% from the top of Porseleinberg, 20% from Goldmine. 40% whole bunches. Floral overtones with gentle garrigue notes, bacon fat and smoky, black, berry fruits. Subtle chocolate notes from oak. Fairly full bodied, but with brisk acidity that enlivens the palate. Powdery tannins give structure. Terrific, elegant, white pepper laced finish. (TJ)
