Not for me I'm afraid. Big wine fantastic bottle but flavours didn't do much for me. First taste not so bad but didn't like the after taste.

One of the better SA Bordeaux style blends and good value.

I opened a bottle of 2008 and it was corked. I opened a bottle of 2009, decanted it, left the wine breathe for a few hours and yet it's hardly fresh. Smells like a diary closet full of old clothes. Taste of blackberries, is drinkable but not exciting. Tannins are soft.
Maybe another slightly off bottle. Did Getwine sell leftover stock at more than 50% off for nothing ? I will not find out again.
