Community Tasting Note

johnrm Likes this wine:

Saturday, January 28, 2023 - Opened 6h early after our previous bottle improved a great deal over many hours after opening. Drinking beautifully now - nothing to add to my earlier comment. As a Bordeaux blend, it was served alongside a favourite 2005 Cru Bourgeois Claret with the beef course at a dinner party and was preferred by many. Later, the Bordeaux overtook this for complexity and character but this excellent classic from S. Africa is remarkable value (half the price of the Bordeaux). John X M is a firm favourite for us and we always give it at least a decade to develop. Open early and give it time to show its quality. Years ahead for this vintage IMO.
