Hello, A happy new year 2010!
I am living in Kawasaki, Japan.
Have opened and tasted the same
wine last night & this new year
morning,which I had bought in CDG
Airport, when I had a business trip to Paris in March, 2007.
When I search google with the name
of the wine, I came & hit your blog. I once visited Capetown in 1994. This is why I write this message,with my very nice memory of
the journey to South Africa.
Best wishes to you and wines!

yeah, smells better than it tastes but easily drunk and not anything bad but too bad it doesn't offer more in the way of the cherry scent. anyways, you can do much worse and at the very least it is a cheap bordeaux at its finest and that would be a nice red with no tannins and even with not much flavor, it still offers a little bit of complexity if that makes any sense.
