Drostdy Hof - Claret Select

This wine is somewhat of a "dark horse" to me. I have had a few bottles that have been absolutely terrible, yet I have had more bottles that have tasted way above their price. In general this is an OK wine to drink on a budget everyday while cooking, or even to add to your stews! It has a strong berry (fruity) taste, with a very nice lingering aftertaste. It does not however have a very good nose, and mostly smells of ethanol.

Price: +-R30

Rating: 2/5 or 2.5/5 (depending on whether you have one from a good batch!)

Value for money rating: 3/5
