This is the first time I’ve tried Durif. Tastes a lot like Shiraz to me, but in this case, really good, like licking oak panels good (not that I’m in the habit of licking oak panels). Lots of spice too.
About The Wine Diary
I am not a wine expert. I am not in the wine industry. I can get a bit pretentious when describing wine sometimes, and other times I can't think of a word to describe what I'm tasting. I do love wine, drink a lot of it, live in the Western Cape of South Africa and visit a lot of wine farms though.
Hopefully this site will help strangers to SA wine pick a good bottle over a bad one, and visit the better wine farms that I've enjoyed. At worst, at least I will be able to use it to remember what is was I was drinking last night!
