NickBurwood Likes this wine:
June 9, 2023 - BYOB lunch in The Spectator boardroom hosted by Jonathan Ray (The Spectator's drinks editor). Limited notes in the main!
Too young, Only the Pinotage florals were showing well in a wine that needs at least a couple more years in cellar to integrate.
2025-?2032. Potential 91?+ -
Bandreas Does not like this wine:
November 2, 2017 - The Grapes for this wine really come from Swartland/Stellenbosch.
Very light red, purple tinge; Smells like a Beaujolais Nouveau (sweet + fruit driven)
On the palate innocuous and bland and sweet.
I could not finish the taste poured art the winery...1 person found this helpful Comment
