KWV Roodeberg 2007

I was really hyped up to try this wine by quite a few people. This Cabernet Sauvignon based blend has a very "brownish-red" colour, and is very sweet to the nose, almost like a Muskadel. The sweetness is continued in the taste, along with very rich berry flavours and some hidden tastes of oak. This wine is far too sweet for my liking, hence I had to pass on having more than one glass.
