Charles Back Goats do Roam 2002

Charles Back Goats do Roam (Western Cape) 2002: A lovely deep colour. A nose of smoke and smouldering charcoal, ripe blueberry and black cherry fruit, roasted meats and roasted herbs. On the palate, super ripe fruit with grip, medium body and ripe tannins. A touch of roasted meats alongside the fruit. Somewhat low acidity gives this wine a rich, easy to drink feel. Turbo-charged Côtes du Rhône? Could be. Very good. (13/6/03)
