This is really a phenomenal South African wine for the money showing such delicacy yet also power. The nose boasts plenty of iodine, crushed stones, balsam, violets and hints of sweet herbs. The palate's full and exuberant with mouth-coating tannins and a long finish. 64% shiraz, 29% cabernet and 7% petit verdot. Best in 2020.

The 2015 Anwilka is open-knit on the nose with a tight, dark core of dusty, chewy fruit. With 64% Syrah, 29% Cabernet Sauvignon and 7% Petit Verdot, there is dusty blackberry, bitter dark chocolate and black pepper spices that all mingle on the nose and mid-palate. Toward the finish, the back is structured and tight, with slightly grainy tannins that will last for years to come. The wine ends with a bold, long finish. This is a well-made wine that has both power and finesse and currently is part of the Klein Constantia lineup. It's a tasty wine!

A joint venture with South Africa's Klein Constantia, Bordeaux Royalty Bruno Prats - formerly of Cos d'Estournel and Hubert de Bouard of Angelus have joined forces to produce one of the new world's greatest Bordeaux blends. Upon releasing its debut 2005 vintage, Robert Parker swiftly declared it, "Fabulous... this is the finest red wine I have ever had from South Africa... world-class stuff, exceptional wine."
