Franschhoek Valley Syrah 2015

Allright! My one thousandth posted wine on Delectable. And just the right occasion to do so. We are sitting here in a tent in the middle of the bush of South Africa sipping a Shiraz of Anthonij Rupert from Stellenbosch. Fresh, uplifting Shiraz that drinks more like a cool climate Syrah. Strong oak tannins fighting with the dry red cherry, fig fruit. Cheers!!! Up to the next thousand…. Wow what was that sound 😳 — 2 years ago

Lourens River Valley Cabernet Franc Blend 2011

December 21st 2019. This is a big bold wine. Smoke, bitter, oak, and strong alcohol taste. Smells of ripe berries and tobacco. Full-bodied. I absolutely loved this wine. — 4 years ago

Chamonix Winery

Rouge Red Bordeaux Blend 2015

16.5/20 (90/100) Вино с ароматами чёрных лесных ягод, ванили, шоколада и травянистой нотой. Тельное с высокой кислотностью и интенсивными, вяжущими танинами. Насыщенно ягодное во вкусе. Отличное соотношение цена/качество. #capewine2018 — 6 years ago

Fathers Day - 18 June 2017
Absolutely fantastic, one of the best wines I've drunk this year. Beautiful berries tempered by the smoothness of the Viognier - soft and beautifully balanced!

Lynx

Shiraz 2018

Dark & rich on the nose with blackberry jam, cassis, raw beef, black olives and tobacco leaf. And a refreshing menthol - allspice - cloves whiff.
Very smooth on the palate, with surprising lightness and impressive balance & poise. Rich, without the weight, the tannins mellow, the acidity fresh. Velvety towards the long finish with a spicy aftertaste.
Seductive and very pleasing, def. more New World rather than Rhône.
Simply delicious with a good rib eye!

Chamonix Winery

Cabernet Franc 2015

17/20 (92/100) Приятный, насыщенный аромат, в котором преобладают тона спелых чёрных ягод, шоколада и зеленого перца. Довольно тельное с высокой кислотностью и интенсивными, сухими, но не грубыми, бархатистыми по текстуре танинами. Ягодно-шоколадное во вкусе с продолжительным послевкусием. Один из, если не самый лучший каберне фран из Франшхука. — 6 years ago

Mercator Premium Chardonnay 2013

At first taste, a little non-descript. But this wine reveals it's subtle excellence over time. Balanced acid, round melon flavors, and yet perfect with food. My second surprisingly good S. African Chard. — 7 years ago
