The 'The Spotted Hound' Red Blend 2018 from Old Road Wine Co. recalls the stories of the legendary characters of the Franschhoek community. The spotted dog was a witty little character. Whenever the butcher turned away, the dog's mischievous nature took over and he helped himself to the finest cuts.
This Red Blend 2018 offers a hint of gentle saltiness on the nose, with a touch of soft cardamom spice. The palate is filled with red berries, Turkish delight and dried floral spices on the finish.
'The Spotted Hound' is grown in the north, on the slopes of the Helderberg. The soils on which these vineyards grow consist mainly of weathered granite, giving the fruit excellent minerality.
Ratings
Rötliche Kirschfarbe beim Einschenken. Dunkle Früchte- und Pflaumennoten führen zu rauchigem und vollem Würzaroma.
Stark fruchtiger Duft. Ziemlich voll und trocken. Genussvoll an sich. Label sagt, man solle den Wein kühlen, ich habe das nicht getan und kann mir nicht vorstellen, dass sich der Geschmack durch Kühlung verbessert.
Reife dunkle Früchte, Pflaume, Pfeffer, Zeder, auch etwas Himbeere. Etwas später nach dem Öffnen, drückt er eine Vollmundigkeit und strukturierte Komplexität aus, mit reichlich Tanninen und einer spielerischen Säure. Samtig, glatt, mit einem durchschnittlichen Abgang.
