On the University of Stellenbosch Wine Evaluation Course 2007, I was lucky enough to win a bottle of Caldeon GP, Philip Mostert’s Dispore Kamma Syrah, but unlucky enough to find when we wanted to sample it, that it was corked.
Dispore Kamma
As luck would have it, a second chance came our way in the Hermanus wine emporium where we found the cabernet sauvignon 2006.
Presenting with a pleasing, characteristic cabernet sauvignon nose, the experience on the palate disappointed with sharp acids. Not a bad thing necessarily, going along with prominent tannins which will improve the wine with bottle age. The lush plum and sour cherry flavours will be more appreciated when this wine is say, six years old.
If only we had come away with a case to lay down which at R15.00 per bottle is a steal.
