2006 Rhebokskloof Syrah (S.Africa, Paarl) around R130 (RM57 -this wine supplied by Du Toit Hoffman from the vineyard) -Initially restrained, this wine evolves in the glass to a long, almost intense, elegant wine with plum notes dominating and hints of vanilla masking the 14.5% alcohol content. Could have had more complexity or layering of flavours but a decent drop for the money and went well with the lamb cutlets we had at dinner.
