  September 29, 2012 - Plum, lead pencil, green pepper, tar, smoke. Matured but still nice acid and soft tannins. Shows that some SA wines age pretty well. Better than expected, flirting with Pomerol.

  July 29, 2009 - Audouzed 3hrs. With Lasagne.
  Again, delicious. Light nose but full palate, with a nice acidic streak giving freshness, lots of plummy Merlot fruit (although I wonder if there's a little Cabernet in this wine despite the label?) and plenty of structure.Big hit with Sal.

  March 29, 2009 - With Roast Beef, Yorkshire Pudding & all the trimmings.
  Decanted 1hr. At it's peak after 2hrs. Good nose but great palate. Sweet and savoury at the same time. Bursting with fruit, nice herbs and held together by excellent structure. Real Old World meets New World. Love this wine.

  September 3, 2008 - With organic sirloin steak & corn-on-the-cob.
  Delicious, mature, perfect with the sirloin.
  Tasting notes consistent with previous bottles.
