This 2023 Soldaat displays the usual red cherry and strawberry fruit aromas that carryÂ
through into deeper earthy f lavours. This year, the colour is slightly darker but still brightÂ
red, and the tannins are more textured and compact. The fruit is overall quite expressive,Â
and the mouthfeel of the more compact tannins suggests that this vintage will age well and the wine will gain massive complexity with time in the bottle. The underlying dormantÂ
secondary f lavours are well knitted together with the acidity.
