  Bought for 170 Rand (about $12 US) at the local Checkers; best WSr Pro is 198. Because of its youth, decanted 3h before consumption. Good purple color; fragrant red fruits; good mouthfeel, moderately complex. Tasty, almost delicious. A Bdx blend this vintage: 39 CS, 37 CF, 24 M. Taken to a local restaurant that charges 50R corkage: remarkable by US standards. This was not on the wine list, though other Warwicks were. Good to have opened at home. My evaluation: I've stopped giving scores on a "100-point scale" as I've become less convinced that they can be meaningful to others. I use a 4-category scale (perhaps with +/-)--not including flawed--which runs outstanding/notable/drinkable/poor. I considered this notable+ when considering quality, age, and price.

  South African wine tour - Day four (Stellenbosch): Slightly burnt/ripe black fruits, sweet spice, dense, a little sweaty Ribena, toast. The juiciness feels a little forced, the black fruit is alcoholically warm, the tannins are relatively soft but drying. For me it's a bit out of whack.
