"Thank you, you may be seated..."
This is a decent, affordable 14.5% South African Cabernet Sauvignon.
It's from '06 and just in transition from purple to red, has a warm-swimming-pool-with-buckets-of-candy-in-it scent in the glass and a typical South African spiciness. There is flavour at every interval but a tad uncoordinated as a whole. I accidentally left the bottle open overnight and it survived well enough, lost a touch here, gained some balance there, fairly impressive. I just ate a salad with raw onion and heavily garlicked dressing and now the wine's afterlinger tastes like sausages, very impressive.

"High in value, moderate in character, low in style."
"I sentence you to years of enjoyment by drinking to be served immediately. Rating: 3.1 of 5. Court adjourned."
