Nice little bit of South African wine history. Must admit I find it odd to drink an Apartheid era wine...

Very good to begin with - as close to a Left Bank Bordeaux as I've come across from outside Europe. A ringer dead ringer for an Haut Medoc. Unfortunately it fell apart after 20 mins in the glass. Still, a pretty interesting drink.
