Rustenberg, 2006, John X Merriman
Wednesday, August 4th, 2010No time for a picture, but you can see the 2006 at Majestic, even though at the time of writing it is the 2007 vintage on sale.
It is a Bordeaux style blend and, having just returned from the home of wine, I wanted to say that this is a gorgeous slurp and much better than any classic Bordeaux I tasted at a similar price, albeit a bit higher in alcohol than I would prefer (14.5%).
If you can still find the 2006 I highly recommend it. It is drinking well now. I paid £12.49. Majestic have the 07 at £12.99. I think that may be due to Gordon’s wee tax policy. Any chance the new coalition will reduce wine tax? Don’t take the piss…
Stumble It!
