The Beeslaar Pinotage 2018 has intense aromas of blackcurrant, spice, liquorice and dark chocolate on the nose. The palate is elegant and luxurious with an abundance of black, red fruits and chocolate. This fantastic Pinotage is powerful and structured, with elegant fine and perfectly integrated tannins and a very long dry finish...
