Sadie Family, Swartland Skerpioen Vintage:2019 with dry mushroom and truffles

with dry mushroom and truffles both evidenced

(89-92)/2034+

the acidity a little lower than the 2010 and the tannins softer

This is potentially outstanding though at least some patience is strongly advised

Sadie Family, Swartland Skerpioen Vintage:2019 with dry mushroom and trufflesThe 2020 Old Vine Series Skerpioen walks the fine line of mineral and citrus, possessing a kiss of sea spray before notions of wax melon, yellow apple skin and sweet Meyer lemon sway on the nose. Medium bodied on the palate, a slight tinge of fresh herbs makes way for mouthwatering succulent acidity, followed by a kiss of phenolic bitterness and a soft leesy quality over the persistent, almost salty finish. I really enjoy the action on the palate.
