I've had many many of these already (but the 1Ltr).
It's a good "house wine".

Not amused...
I really hope all those are still very drinkable.
PS. I had a hand in making that Welmoed Shiraz. I was making wine in the Stellenbosch Vinyards group during those years.

Jirre, those should be verrrry nice. If they were stored properly, of course.
Had a 2008 Kanonkop Pinotage two nights ago: amazeballs!
Yup hope so too, stored lying down and in an aircon room. Will test a few of them out on new years eve, and let them breathe for a couple hours first. Need to clear some space for my other wine haha.

It was a very good year, '83 was even better. Today I had to make do with a 2016 vintage of the same, it was also pretty good.Next up....
Also opened a bottle of 1973 KWV Roodeberg today, it was still very drinkable, but had lost most of its charm in the past 48 years.
Opened a 78 Roodeberg last year, out of the 4 that and the KWV cab were probably the best but I ours at least was definitely past prime

This was indeed sublime. Very, very smooth. Left some in a decanter overnight to savour and was even better the next day. My old stock getting less & less over the last few years. Need to keep an eye out to buy someone's collection out of an estate. Few & far between.

Some dirt-cheap wines are totally amazing. One of those is Springfields' Thunderchild.
@backstreetboy would be proud of me.

FTFY
Not everything from Springfield.
But Everything from Springfield Estate.
@Candystore , next time you do a function, put Springfield Thunderchild in 99% of the decanters, and one bottle of Springfield Wild Berry 2019. When the people ask you what wine it is, tell them that you are not sure, but maybe think it's Springfield Wild Berry, about 2019-ish.

Was at Mellasat today. They have an under ground wine cellar museum full of donated bottles from various wineries.
