My Wine of the Month for September is Beyerskloof Reserve
2006. After a week in Alsace where pale thin Pinot Noir is served very cold I longed for the body, flavour and warmth of a
decent Pinotage, and what is more reliable than Beyerskloof?
I’d intended keeping this longer, the back label suggest up
to 15 years, but it is drinking beautifully now. Youthful exuberance has given
way to a more precise sleekness and tastes of red plums with a trace of dark chocolate
on the finish. Suddenly we were looking at an empty bottle. Delicious.
Beyerskloof Reserve 2006 was a Top 10 Winner in 2008.
