Breaking the silence – but maybe I shouldn’t
I feel like a whistle-blower again, and many, well, most Hungarians reading this post (there are a few of them) will think it’s a treason, I’m betraying my homeland once again.
I didn’t feel like posting, or indeed, tasting lately. I’m not very good in essay writing so I’m getting straight to the point.
I opened a bottle more or less randomly from the cellar (not exactly true, I wanted something from South Africa á propos de la FIFA World Cup – and btw please introduce instant replay for referees!!!). I didn’t remember why I bought the bottle or whether it was expensive or not. As I opened it I almost regretted it because I was stunned by it for being the first Pinotage I actually like which is, as it happens, an understatement, anyway, so I had to share it with a couple of guys (it was an instant success) when I wanted the whole bottle for only myself. I loved it. It had an exciting exotic, complex bouquet (yes, with a hint of burnt rubber) and a very elegant, also complex palate with many layers of flavors and texture, mature but lively, with vefry polished components. This wine is also known as a Pinotage 2002 of Stellenbosch winery Beyerskloof. I could buy this wine at around EUR 7, according to wine-searcher.com. You may want to search this blog to find out what do you get for that much in Hungary. Wake up, shall we.
Yes, you should, Whineguy – break the silence, I mean.
