tobacco licorice

dark red fruits that come at you in layers

The wine is refined

campfire embers

Perhaps most impressive today on the back end

Sadie Family, Swartland Skerpioen other_regions tobacco licoriceThe 2020 Old Vine Series Skerpioen walks the fine line of mineral and citrus, possessing a kiss of sea spray before notions of wax melon, yellow apple skin and sweet Meyer lemon sway on the nose. Medium bodied on the palate, a slight tinge of fresh herbs makes way for mouthwatering succulent acidity, followed by a kiss of phenolic bitterness and a soft leesy quality over the persistent, almost salty finish. I really enjoy the action on the palate.
