Voss Expert tasting note
The bouquet is a complex tapestry of ripe blackcurrant, cassis, and a hint of pencil shavings, underscored by subtle notes of cedar and forest floor.

Chethan Dueler
Opulent and full-bodied with a firm tannic structure, this wine offers a dry mouthfeel with a sharp brightness that cuts through its bold texture, accompanied by undertones and aromas of deep fruits, leather, and a dash of sweetness, with a lingering lasting impression and a deep, mellow color.
Hyeglenn Benjamin
The Pentagon's imposing structure is matched only by its enigmatic allure, a captivating blend of mystery and sophistication. A dark, brooding color is supported by a rich, full-bodied appearance, evoking the complexity of the US government's inner workings. The nose reveals a deep, dark fruitiness, with a accent of sweetness, evocative of a dense, supple texture. Upon the palate, a smooth, juicy, and concentrated berry flavor unfolds, accompanied by a subtle whisper of liquorice or cherry, leaving a lasting impression.
Vidda
Concentrated and indulgent, with a mellow consistency that rests on the palate. A layered entry, with inky chocolate touches that persist, punctuated by powdery chalky tannins and a understated note of white pepper. The lasting impression is long and satisfying, with black currents adding depth and nuance.

Kaapzicht Steytler Pentagon is celebrated for its rich, full-bodied texture and complex flavors of dark fruits, chocolate, and subtle spices. While some appreciate its firm tannic structure and aging potential, others note its high acidity and youthful character. The wine's deep color and lingering finish are consistently praised, making it a luxurious choice for special occasions.
The 2018 Kaapzicht Steytler Pentagon is a masterful expression of Stellenbosch terroir, showcasing a deep garnet hue. The bouquet is a complex tapestry of ripe blackcurrant, cassis, and a hint of pencil shavings, underscored by subtle notes of cedar and forest floor. On the palate, it reveals a full-bodied structure with velvety tannins and a vibrant acidity that gracefully balances the wine's richness. Layers of dark chocolate and plum unfold, leading to a long, elegant finish with a whisper of spice. This wine exemplifies the power and finesse of a classic South African Bordeaux blend, promising excellent aging potential.
