Lot 18 / The Tasting Room, $16/bottle

Aaron:  This is a GREAT South African bottle.  The front is earthy but then transforms in your mouth to a rush of berries and black fruits.  The smell is allspice with cinnamon and the body is full and rounded.  This is easily one of the best bottles we’ve gotten from Lot 18 and an excellent value, particularly for a 2016.  I’m excited to see how this ages.  92 points

Teri: I didn’t have a chance to drink much of this bottle but what I did have was delicious. I agree with Aaron, this is one of the best bottles we have received from Lot 18.
