This wine was soooo good when we tasted it at the tasting room in Franschhoek. Purchased a few bottles and brought it home. Carefully preserving for the ‘perfect’ occasion…. but when is that? So just open it when we felt like it. Much better plan!!! 😎. Not quite like I remember unfortunately. But still good. Some stringent flavors throwing it off balance. Not quite the depth of flinty, mineral flavors as I had stored away in my memory. Also not quite the intensity and the length. But….it did bring us back to a wonderful time we had in South Africa (that day!).
