Tasting note:

Vintages Wine Panel: Only seventy barrels of Flagstone’s flagship Shiraz, the Dark Horse, were produced from the 2007 vintage. This wine is comprised of grapes sourced from sustainably grown vineyards, and offers incredible value. My note: Savoury, mouth-watering, meaty and absolutely lip-smack delicious! Full-bodied, supple and smoky with aromas of blackberries and dark plums. This red gets remarkably better every vintage.

Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:

Muscular yet harmonious 2007; espresso-tinged morello cherries, spicy fruitcake and game (aromas and flavours); dense dark fruit on firm frame of rich tannins. Score: 4 (out of 5) Source: Winnie Bowman, Platter's South African Wine Guide
