I opened this bottle, but I had to double-check if I poured the right wine cause I didn't recognise Barista Pinotage here. No typical aromas of mocha and chocolate. Fruits and some rubber. It also offered a declined and unbalanced palate. I could not finish even a glass.
Consistent crowd pleaser. This time it has less cured meat, more fruits and mocha with chocolate powder. Almost full-bodied, fruity, well-balanced and easy to understand. A wine to use as a bridge from cocktails to finer stuff.
Pompous and expressive crowd pleaser. Lots of cured meat, coffee beans, and black fruits. Goes well with food or situations when wine is just a background (though the last phrase sounds sad). Good QPR. Thanks to quite the amount of residual sugar, can be a window into the world of dry wines for those who strictly ignore them.
