The 2018 Ernie Els Big Easy displays a dark, brooding nose with damp forest and meaty notes lifted by crunchy red and black fruits, plus, a charming savoury spice overlay. Aromas of bay leaf and hints of vanilla follow. This wine is vibrant and alight with a youthful energy. The bright palate ends with a juicy, sweet-fruited flourish.
