Legend has it this is a take off on Cotes Du Rhone and the french winery sued, and some international court sided with the South African. Cotes is $twenty something (so I haven't reviewed it yet), although I believe I tried it back in the 80's or so. I'm sure it was fine.
This stuff is well rounded. Smells like a warm blanket and eventually becomes one. On second sniff I was suprised to find a peppered rare beef but quickly became suspect I hadn't washed my mustache recently. I still hadn't noticed that Monsieur Orange was frying his second batch of eggs and cheese with some mexican hot sauce.
It tastes dusty, rich, boozy, low end all the way through, I approve.
Goes good with: rain, Charles Mingus, solitude, Morrisey, nostalgia, Bruce Springsteen.
