2015 Springfield Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Whole Berry 84 Points
South Africa, Breede River Valley, Robertson
A lot of toast, smoke, coffee and rubber in the bouquet. Same on the palate. A bit unpleasant even. Sulfur, BBQ and oak. The acidity and tannin is ok, but you need to be a fan of the style. Certainly a bit special. Would like to try again in a year or two.

2003 Mas de Daumas Gassac 92 Points
France, Languedoc Roussillon, Languedoc, Vin de Pays de l'Hérault
Beautiful and complex bouquet with sweet spices, dark berries, cedar, chocolate and graphite. On the palate the same impressions, blackberries, beautifully integrated oak, beautiful acidity and round tannin. Really delicious wine which has improved so much since the last time I tasted it in 2012. Lovely and completely ready now, but probably no extreme hurry.
