David & Nadia Elpidios 2021 Magnum Bottle size: 1500ml
South Africa, Swartland
R830
‘54% Grenache Noir, 31% Syrah, 13% Carignan, 1% Pinotage and 1% Cinsaut. Red and black berries, lavender, fynbos and white pepper on the nose while the palate is medium-bodied with lovely fruit purity, fresh acidity and powdery tannins – good structure and length, another convincing argument for the merits of this vintage.’ – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 93/100
‘The 2021 Elpidios contains the highest level of Grenache (54%) to lend backbone, augmented by Rhône red varieties. This is matured in 500-liter French oak and a 4,100-liter foudre for the Pinotage. Red plum, cranberry and Provençal herbs on the nose, with fennel and a touch of thyme, quite complex but backward at the moment. The medium-bodied palate has powdery tannins, good backbone and a little more grip than usual. The finish has a slight reduction with a hint of black olive on the aftertaste. Give this 3-4 years in bottle. 2025-2042’ – Neal Martin, Vinous, 92/100
