A tricky vintage which needed savvy from the winemaker; Kanonkop produced a very complex wine with hints of red fruit flavours which reflects some Pinot Noir style elegance and structure. Big, bold tannin structures which are down played by ripe fruit and elegance. The wine has aged very well and is still drinking "young" with lots of promise for the future.
