Jancis: This is for 8 degrees south of the Equator. I've written wine grapes should be grown between 30-50 degrees -- that's all nonsense now! They get two crops a year, Portuguese winemaking expertise -- its a very interesting wine --um, I get a mouthfull of oak, but there's not supposed to be any in it. You can taste the Syrah, will it get better as vines age? Hmm -- if they don't need replanting after 5 years with all the stress"
Me: Dense ruby colour, light bodied, not much depth of flavouir, some clean acids on finish.
