  61% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot. From an excellent vintage this has all the makings of a great Rubicon. Already enjoyable but this will certainly last and improve for at least a decade.

  Great QPR for a SA Bordeaux style blend. Daily drinker. I had rated it higher previously as the fruit and tanins have faded but it’s also softer and more delicate now.

  Tasting Meerlust wines with Wim Truter (Tryffelsvinet, Blasieholmen): My favourite of the line we tried. Lovely rich nose with extra everything and lots of ripe fruit, dark chocolate notes, but it also has a really well balanced palate and nice finish. Drink now or cellar for another 10 years. Very much showing the high pedigree (if warm and ripe fruited wines) of the South Africa 2015 vintage. Highly Recommended (if you can find it).

  Expressive and complex on the nose. Floral notes, herbs, green bell pepper, menthol, red fruit, hints of black tea. On the palate well-balanced with good acidity, ripe tannins. Again red fruit. Bright and vibrant towards the finish. Fine length. Drink or keep. 92-94
