This vintage shows how much typically this Pinotage develops with time. I have not tasted this vintage before, but you can compare it as proxy to October 2013 tasting of 2012 vintage. This (2007) vintage is perfectly integrated, not very complex wine though but not a basic quaffer too. Around the peak of the bottle maturity.
