  Continues to drink well and feels like it has a few years ahead of it. Excellent value at the time and definitely one of the best BDX blends in the region

  Charles pulled out an older vintage of the Fusion V for us to try.
  
  Deep garnet red with some bricking on the edges. Aged nose with notes of tomato, a little stinky, a little earthy, strawberries and red plums. Balanced tannins (6.5/10) and medium plus bodied. Notes of strawberries, dried cherries and leather on the palate. Medium to medium plus finish. Drink till 2020.

  De Toren Tasting with Charles Williams at the Estate (De Toren Wine Estate Stellenbosch): This was clearly an old wine and not in my style - although those who enjoy older french will enjoy it. Classic old french nose and lighter body

  Intense leather balanced by licorice and tobacco. The key to this wine is balance: at this late date in its life it’s thrown a crust but only shows a little bricking, the fruit is detectable but tannins are not. It’s very very nice

  Deep and dark in the glass with just a hint of rim variation. Still full of fruit on the nose with slight notes of leather and spice. Black fruit in the mouth with spices and leather. Tannins are still present but well integrated. Smooth finish. Wish I had more of this vintage. Drink now.
