This bottle is 16 years old! Cork came our perfectly. Decanted for about 1 hour. Wine turning slightly brown. On the nose hints of wet wood, and soft fruit, sweetness. Taste - very smooth, fruit and slight sweetness. Medium acids, and some tannins remaining.

Excellent Cab! Huge nose of currant, dust, cocoa. Palate follows nose. Crisp balance of fruit and tannins. Tannins well integrated and this wine is showing a bit of mature plum and leather on the palate. Really very good and my first quality wine from South Africa. Thanks Kelly and Pete!

With slow roast pork at Windsor Grill. Sals birthday. Decanted 3hrs. Delicious, round, fully mature. Lacking a little Cabernet typicity today, but plenty of fruit & acidity.

Double decanted. With roast Sirloin. Light nose but superb palate. Earthy red berries with nice acidity hovering in the background to add tension & cut through the fat. Lovely.

Nice red berry. Red currant on the palate. Note from memory.
