Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, March 5, 2019 - Bought 2b for 18/b over 5 years ago from a local gourmet grocer shortly after returning from a professional visit to the Cape Town area; we were eager to learn more about the area wines. Decanted but found almost no sediment. Rich dark purple; fragrant mature red fruit nose with some graphite; very good fruit with manageable tannins and good mouthfeel--years of life ahead. Delicious! Stored horizontally in a cool, dark basement since purchase. My evaluation: I've stopped giving scores on a "100-point scale" as I've become less convinced that they can be meaningful to others. I use a 4-category scale (perhaps with +/-)--not including flawed--which runs outstanding/notable/drinkable/poor. I considered this notable+ when considering quality, age, and price.
