We had this with Oxtail dinner at Rattray’s in Mala Mala last night.

Not my usual detailed notes. This is ripe & lush like the Nederburg but with more complexity.

The palate showed ripe and slightly candied fruits of; dark currants, blackberries, black raspberries, dark cherries and a hint of blue fruits. Nice softly layered baking spices, dark chocolate, mocha, rich, dark soils, some dry top, well done granitic minerals and fresh red and dark florals. The acidity round & beautiful. The finish, ripe, lush, well balanced & polished. Good QPR here.

Photos of, today’s Mala Mala sunrise, baby calf elephant along with the nearly 40 in the herd and a total of over 100 Elephants seen today, playful male dominance of the Giraffe’s intertwining and smacking necks/mid section and the grand prize, male spotted Leopard. An amazing finish to our last day. — 6 years ago

Straight from the nose, beautiful spanish music starts playing. Red and black fruit balance the tannins and you find yourself willing to play the castagnettes. This 2005 Dominio de Atauta is at its peak. Just perfect! Fruit, tobacco, and leather blend together beautifully. Olé! — 7 years ago

Very nice. Held up to a well reduced and very spicy long roasted tomato sauce which dressed a tubular pasta. Fairly soft tannins. Deep in flavor and texture. Another northeastern Italian. The wines here are very intriguing. Keep em coming folks — 8 years ago

Klarowna ciemnorubinowa barwa. Mocny nos, mocno lesne nuty, czarne owoce. Mocno wytrawne, mala kwasowosc, mocno cierpkie. Dlugi cierpki finisz ale malo owocowy. Dobre wino ale bardzo ciezkie — 12 years ago
