Is Optima a good wine?
Tasting profile
A rich, complex red with velvety tannins, smoky notes, and jammy dark fruit like blueberry and blackberry, lifted by spice on the nose and palate. The finish is long and elongated, giving an impressively well-balanced, full-bodied character.

From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Alluring spicy aromatic overlay to dark berry and plum fruit, with blackcurrant leaf and hint of cracked black pepper and violet. This wine is all about texture - from its soft, velvety entry to the gentleness of the spice, which pervades the cassis, black fruit and cedar flavours. Ample turned earth and tobacco leaf notes, too.
Anthonij Rupert Optima is Cabernet Sauvignon grown in Franschhoek, bottled as a red.
