However, personally, I find that it lacks the depth of the Ducru and is a bit flat on (my) palate. But then, I generally prefer very full-bodied wines, and SA-ones for that matter, so have asked the purser to prepare a carafe of the Porseleinberg Syrah 2014 for me to sample later. I do really like the 'normal' Boekenhoutskloof Syrah (m3red - one that you like as well, isn't it?), so excited to try this one as well.
yes I love the boekenhoutskloof Syrah - about 3 years ago I bought the entire les clos stock 😂

Quite into my ridge (napa) wines at the moment
