This is sensational. It’s a new red wine from Duncan Savage, and it’s a blend of 58% Cinsault, 21% Grenache and 21% Syrah. We were served it blind and I reckoned it was a supremely elegant warmer climate red, but I didn’t get any further than that. It’s such a beautiful wine, but it will be incredibly hard to find, alas. I reckon it’s a new South African great. It proves once again that Cinsault is a serious variety in South Africa. [Disclosure: Duncan is a buddy who I judge with every year in South Africa. But I’m not doing him a favour with this review: I genuinely love the wine.]<\/p>\n

Savage Follow The Line 2014 Western Cape, South Africa<\/strong>
\nVery fine, expressive and pure with lovely refined red and black cherries, and a lovely floral perfume. There’s some tautness to the palate, but also a bit of silky texture. Purity and finesse are the hallmarks of this super-elegant red wine. 96\/100<\/p>\n
