Redoma Tinto 2005

Provenance

The late David Brice was a respected wine connoisseur, collector and co-founder of Brice and Burnett – The Fine Wine Specialists (formerly Wine Cellar). His lifelong passion for wine from all corners of the world wine, and generosity, helped develop a culture of fine wine in South Africa and beyond. Always with value and authenticity in mind, the collection spans a wide range of styles from leading producers and diverse regions. The wines were professionally imported under refrigeration and carefully stored at Brice and Burnett (formerly Wine Cellar) thereafter. Many of the producers are not available in South Africa and provide an excellent buying opportunity.

For more detailed information on the lots, please feel free to contact Roland Peens (roland@briceandburnett.co.za). Roland spent many years sharing and enjoying these wines with David Brice and is happy to provide further insight into the collection.

Critics Ratings

“Smoky, mineral, spiced dark fruit, even a little cedary. Very very fine tannins. Again that distinctive Niepoort lightness of touch and delicacy of finish. Fruit is dark and pretty ripe but not overly so. Hint of fig. Long and fine and elegant even with the ripeness.” - Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17/20 (Jun 2008)

“Powerful and focused, with crushed red fruit flavors and plenty of mineral and chocolate notes. Finishes crisp, with spice and mint.” - Kim Marcus, Wine Spectator, 91/100 (Feb 2008)
