Rizzo
Decent quaffer from the South African tasting, with a respectable score of 93-7. The Petit Verdot adds a rich, polished tactile quality to the wine, whereas the blackcurrant and black plum tones provide a fruity and slightly sweet profile. The dried rose petals and clove add a subtle, aromatic depth, though the nutmeg provides a warm, spicy finish. Overall, a solid effort from the Online Wine Tasting Club's South African tasting.
Prabodha
Rich, smooth wine with a deep, inky colour, its nose is led by by the sweet, herbal tones of cassis and eucalyptus, meanwhile the sensation reveals a luscious, ripe plum flavour, accompanied by a smooth, mellow grip and a lingering finish.
Alchemius
Intense and full-bodied wine with a velvety texture, complementing the savory tones of chicken and mushrooms flawlessly in a creamy tarragon sauce.

Excelsior Cabernet Sauvignon is praised for its rich, full-bodied profile with flavors of blackcurrant, plum, and blackberry. Many appreciate its smooth texture and affordability. However, some find it too sweet or lacking complexity, with a dry, astringent finish. While some enjoy its earthy, flinty notes, others feel it falls short in finesse and depth. Overall, it's a value-driven choice for everyday drinking.
Excelsior Cabernet Sauvignon is a full-bodied red wine with intense aromas of blackberry, blackcurrant, and cedar. On the palate, the wine has a lush, velvety texture and flavors of dark berry and spice. The tannins are well-integrated, and the finish is long and lingering. This Cabernet Sauvignon is an excellent expression of the terroir, and is sure to please any red wine enthusiast.
