2001 Vergelegen Cabernet Sauvignon - this Stellenbosch cabernet is in a really good place now. It is still amazingly dark and has a lovely cassis and cocoa nose - it seems to have lost much of the mintiness I recall from my last tasting 6 or 7 years ago, and it is a beefy wine both in weight and in choice of matching food. Lovely now but showing little signs of aging It showed some interesting spice note in the nose as it opened up - nutmeg? Wish I had laid more down - only a couple of bottles left.
