A serious wine with real aging potential, this Bordeaux blend from on-the-radar vintner Adi Badenhorst marries muscular strength with a softer, savvy style. Smoke, mocha, berry and spice create a seamless mosaic of flavor, while firmly structured tannins offer an assertive edge. The wine has all the hallmarks of a classic Bordeaux with a few added exotic touches, making it a great gift for wine lovers who already have everything.——S.K.(12/15/2007)—— 91
