2005 Anwilka
Deep garnet red with bricking on the edges. A bit stinky on the nose smokey and gamey. Moderate tannins (6/10) and medium plus bodied. Rather impressed with this and at the perfect moment to drink. A bit savory on the palate with a touch of dark red fruits. Medium plus finish.
Cabernet-Shiraz blend made up of 63% Cabernet Sauvignon and 37% Shiraz.

Price Point:
$$ -$45.00.Been awhile since we last tried the 2005 Anwilka. Deep garnet red with some bricking in the edges. Classic South African nose. A little dirty and herbaceous on the attack with soft dark fruit undertones. Smooth and well integrated tannins (6/10). Rounded layers mixed between slight herbaceous and dark berries. Medium plus bodied with a bit of chalk and gravel in the medium finish.

Price Point:
$$ -$45.00.Deep garnet in color. Nose has started to wear off, very light charcoal and earthy tones. There are some undertones of black fruit. Starts off earthy and lots of dark fruits like plums on the palate. Additionally the palate was slightly toasty. Moderate tannins (5.5/10) and moderate body. Finish was long and lingered. Not surprised by the power of this wine even after 10 years and the dark fruits on the palate. A little disappointed by the nose but still a delicious wine. After tasting this we will be making a stop by Klein Constantia on Thursday!
