OFF-DRY WHITE; 2007 Houghtons; Late Picked Verdelho (Swan, Western Australia) RM70
Pleasantly sweet, simple fruit driven wine with delicate, balanced sweet and citrus flavours. Lady pleaser.
2006 Morande; Carmenere Reserva (Maipo Valley, Chile) RM75
Mocha notes dominate its berry scented nose. Attractive, but unfortunately does not indicate what you get on the palate which is somewhat tannic and lacking in fruit
2001 Isole e Olena; Chianti Classico (Tuscany, Italy) RM195
8 years old and peaked for drinking. Well structured with adequate fruit. A winner with food but should have been broached earlier if to be consumed without food.
2000 Rust en Vrede; Estate (Stellenbosch, S.Africa) not commercially available
Cabernet Sauvignon, shiraz & merlot in a bold and beautiful South African style. Powerful, but no overwhelming. Complex with good length and balance.
