The Beeslaar Pinotage 2017 has intense aromas of cherries, plums, banana, vanilla and spices on the nose. On the palate, the same intense fruit flavours are complemented by fine tannins. In this vintage, the fruit and wood flavours are perfectly and very harmoniously integrated. The finish is juicy, intense and very long...
