03.05.08 /2006 Fairview Pinotage
After raving about the 2002 Fairview Pinotage, I got a sample bottle of their current entry level Pinotage to try.
At first, this Pinotage had a big charcoal taste I typically associate with SA reds. But it burned off a bit to bring raspberry on the nose, with a big asphalt backbone and dark berry fruit on the finish. Medium tannins, but a little too acidic.
It has a mouthfeel of a wine that would stain your teeth!
I would drink it if served to me, however, I am not buying for the restaurant or myself.
