Vergelegen Stellenbosch Shiraz 2009 90 Points
Re-tasting this wine after missing a few vintages reminds me how fantastic this wine is, more Syrah than Shiraz in style, fragrant, ripe mulberries and plums, earthy complexity with rosemary herbs, delicate extraction, juicy, plush tannins, fresh and elegant, minty note with an intriguing Islay Malt kind of peaty spiciness and richness!
