Boekenhoutskloof The Chocolate Block 2012, Franschhoek, Western Cape W.O., South Africa: I recommend the Chocolate Block every vintage as it's a consistently great wine! This full-bodied red wine is a blend of mostly shiraz grapes and some grenache, cabernet sauvignon, cinsault and a splash of viognier grapes. It's savoury, complex and delicious: wow! Cassis, blackberry and cedar forest. Meaty and enticing, full-bodied wonderful with a concentrated weave of anise, cigar box, pepper and meaty notes. Extremely juicy and mouthwatering in a food-happy kind of way. Balanced and delicious: this is a terrific red to red if you're not familiar with South African wines, or even if you are. Highly recommended. Drink: 2014-2020. 129353 14.50% XD 750 mL  $39.95 Score: 93/100. June 27, 2015 Top Rated Red Wine. Best Beef Wine Full Review
