Not too heavy on the oak. Strong butterscotch flavour. I probably would have enjoyed this more a year or so ago, but prefer less oak these days (despite this being fairly subtle).
Pepperier (is that even a word?) than Captain Haddock’s mother in law, but much better to enjoy a steak and cajun prawns with.
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!
