    December 22, 2007 - Undrinkable. Wife wouldn't even cook with it.

    February 21, 2007 - Didn't like it as much as the last bottle. Could be the time of year (winter) and I was looking for something more, or it could be losing it already. Seemed thin.

    September 29, 2006 - Very dark purple. Smoke throughout; fig in the bouquet with raisin in the pallet. Enjoyable for an everyday wine.

    July 12, 2006 - I liked this wine quite a bit. Not as heavy as a lot of the reds I've been drinking lately, but still had some depth (for this novice at least). Bright fruit attack on the nose and follows through. A good outdoor casual red, particularly with visitors.

    January 28, 2006 - A sipper and nothing more. Bits of petroleum and rubber on the nose and palate. Simple plummy notes. This wine does nothing to aide in Pinotage problems as it carries a funk from less than careful winemaking. This could be done better. A little bit of smoke on the end.
