Four of the five Bordeaux grapes (Cab Franc left on the sidelines) combining to make an exceptionally good wine that goes perfectly with a steak and kidney pudding. I don’t know who Aidan is, but his wine’s special.
Like an eastern european gymnast, this wine is supple and red. Unlike the gymnast, the 66% Petit Verdot makes for a slightly heavy wine. Probably would have enjoyed this more with richer food.
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!
