  Intense nose of strawberries and cream with a little bit of cedar wood. Colour in the glass hints of the wines age. Strawberries again on the palate with tannins fully resolved. This wine is just as intense on the palate as it is on the nose. Excellent finish of 30+ seconds. A very well made wine that is at peak in my opinion. I do not like my wine young, if I had any more of this I would drink it in the next 12 months.

  South African 'Picnic' offline (DML, London): KWV's attempt at making SA's answer to Penfold's Grange. Clear note of sweet coconut milk on the nose and some pepperiness. Some iron. Very rich, super-ripe nose too. Sipping it - yikes. This is something else. Very rich, though not exactly sweet. Someone suggests Zinfandel has been mixed in and I can see why. Sort of late harvesty & port like. Monolithic and young still, despite having been double decanted 12 hours earlier. Most didn't like it. I thought it manageble but you couldn't drink much of it. Not really enjoyable.
