Rich and heavyweight like a fat Bill Gates. Perhaps a bit too robust to go with the four cheese and butternut pasta I had it with. Enjoyed the soft, complicated aftertaste.
Almost as dark and dense in colour as an offshore BP oil spill but marginally less expensive. Drank it with gorgonzola gnocchi. Agreeable, but unremarkable.
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!
