This was one of the eight wines that were tightly packed in our baggage home from South Africa - and the best of the bunch. We've saved this for a special occasion, and New Years Eve 2007 was it.
It's $45 at wine.com and we paid equiv to $25 over there...well worth every penny, either way. I saw it on the menu at Harry Carey's for $70 as well. Word on the street is Sam's Wine has it too, but it's not on their website.
Since this post is a month delayed, I can't remember the tasting specifics, other than this currently is the wine to measure all others at a 9.5 out of 10. Here are the winemaker notes from wine.com:
Deep purple color. Massively rich aromas with an array of ripe cherry and blackberry, exotically spiced. The palate is packed with these flavors –deeply concentrated. Almost explosively mouth filling, with a fine tannin finish. Chosen as one of Wine Spectator’s Top 100 Wines four years in a row.
