More robust than a free-state born South African prop forward filled with Castle, but much better smelling, and far more welcome at dinner. An aquired taste. Bit marmite, but Iike it.
Rich, dark, moody heavyweight. Nose tells you to take it seriously, body hits you like a brick wrapped in velvet.
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!
