Just received another case of the Dorrien Growers 2005 and had to open up a bottle to celebrate :)I got Jean to open it about two hours before I got home and it was stunning from the first mouthful. A beautiful nose of mocha and a palate of rich chocolate berries. The finest firm tannins and overall, a beautiful wine. Jean even commented, so I know that it has that WOW factor.
I had bottle number 718 tonight, that's pretty damn low since the other ones I have had were about 10,000.
I really do need to get another case of this soon, just to keep. It will always be good to bring one of these out with company and it would suit almost any food.
Not a particularly heavy wine, it is however 15% alcohol. You would not notice, it is that smooth.
Drink ability 94
Value 95
Price $19 (Cellarmasters) (I bought 3 cases already of the 2005 and 2 of the 2004)
