South African wines: Quite different - new oak and vanilla qite obvious (14%). Intense and rather heady, but at 13 y. of age - actually quite enjoyable, especially with juicy steak. Quite peppery it was.

Garnet red with brownish edges. Nose was funky, with hints of barnyard, green peppers, chalk and straw. Palate was slightly earthy with moderate tannins (6/10). Moderate to light body probably due to age. Low to moderate finish. Not fruity at all very nice and smooth.

Light oak and light chalk nose with a hint of leather. Beginning to have light brown around the edges. Smooth and easily drinkable. Moderately lingering finish with light berry fruit. Not sure how many more years to go for my liking - maybe 2 or 3 at max.

This was fantastic from the start. Opened it and had a small taste - right away medicinal, full of black fruits - think oolong tea and the cutty sark. Got even better after an hour. With herby food, both the sweetness and pepper came through. Lovely long aftertaste.
