  Judgement of Wimbledon
  
  Absolute stunner of a wine. In its prime, and still has a lot of life left in it. Crunchy. Earth. Rich fruit. Stunning

  9/15/2022 - Radders12345 Does not like this wine:

  North London TWS Tastings series: South Africa (Must and Lees, N1) (Must and Lees N1): Interesting curry leaf nose with a little reduction.
  Spicy curry and cardoman on the palate. A little sharp. Interesting but not quite my tempo

  Many in the room thought this was over the hill. I would beg to differ, and I liked its aged complexity and especially its cardoman and other Indian spice notes. It was the most interesting of the whites.

  Bit of reduction, but not enough to be annoying. Slightly bitter. It lacks nerve /tension and is likely past its best, which I suspect was a few years ago now. Not very compelling. OK but unmemorable.

  South African wines of North London (Must & Lees): I was really looking forward to this, but I think the particular bottle was slightly over the hill - albeit in an interesting way. A fair bit of reduction on the nose, and a lot of curry leaf; that's one of my favourite scents, so pretty nice all in all. More exotic spice on the palate - cardomom? - and very good length. Glad to have tried this, but it was probably too intellectual for its own good.
