Kanonkop Wine Estate Pinotage Black Label 2020

Eighteen months in new Nevers oak has left its mark, but the fruit holds its own, dark plum, blueberry and a citrus brightness that keeps things lively. Broad and generously built, with good grip through the mid-palate and a plush, menthol-edged finish that lingers. The oak integration is less seamless than on the Paul Sauer, though it sits comfortably within the wine's full-bodied frame. Classy Pinotage with real presence.
