Twitter Wine Reviews - May 2010

Enjoy!
My Twitter Wine Review List for May 2010:
2006 Du Toitskloof Cellar Shiraz. Not my favourite. Like the Lions. 3/10.
2007 Glenwood Merlot. Undertones of Sugus Rasberry. Would go GREAT with Chuckleberrys. 6/10.
2008 Nederburg The Winemasters Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon. Light, sneaky lunch wine. Needs lotsa oxygen. 6/10.
2005 Meerlust Rubicon. Prob a bit young. But hauled out in celebration of future son. That rhymes. Still a great wine. 7/10.
Tucking into a 1999 LBV Port. It's porty.
2009 Zonnebloem Sauvignon Blanc. Like a fruit salad. With grass & apricots. Yum. Helps me forget the crappy sports results. 7/10.
2005 Raka Quinary. Earthy. Berry. There's a party on my tongue. 8/10.
2007 Alto Rouge. The log fire helps. Am I smokey or is the wine? Regardless, this is tasty! 7/10.
2008 Laborie Shiraz. Proves wine doesn't have to be old to be a rollicking good quaff. Minty sniff. Fruity taste. 7/10.
2004 Audacia Merlot. Blherm. Initial smell of a latrine but grew on me a bit. Pity, the Cab Sav was rad. 3/10.
2008 Nederburg The Winemasters Reserve Pinotage. Middle road on everything: sniff, taste, swirly stuff. Works for an ave eve tho. 6/10.
2009 Thierry & Guy Fat Bastard Sauvignon Blanc. Wine snobs would say zesty. I say jolly fuckin' good. And fruity. 8/10.
2006 Post House Cabernet Sauvignon. Sleeper hit! Makes my tongue bend inwards - but in a good, buttery, nutty way. 8/10.
2008 Guardian Peak Merlot. I can't say much. Except this is apparently a gold mine brand - from Ernie Els estate. FYI. 6/10.
2009 Simonsvlei Longmarket Merlot. A Woolworths Wine Collection. Personally, I prefer their steamed meals. 2/10.
2005 Rosendal Private Cellar Cabernet Sauvignon. No specifics. Just full of good red wine stuff. Must try again. 7/10.
2008 Rupert & Rothschild Classique Blend. Not much on the sniff, but it tastes like a creamy melted Oreo. In a good way. 8/10.
