[UPDATE:] The first Blogger’s Stormhoek review is in. The link is here.

The moment of truth is upon us though, how was it for us (I let my wife have some too. Gene­rous I thought!) — Jane desc­ri­bed it thus:

It was very fresh and sharp fla­vour. Very drin­ka­ble, and I think I need another glass to check my appre­cia­tion.
[Said while insis­ting I get her another glass]

For myself I would tend to agree, very dry, fresh and crisp. Lovely.
I am oft to pour another glass and see whether I can order some more…
Thanks Hugh and if you want to do the sam­ple thing again, I live in Europe and North America.

Thanks Paul, that was very kind. As far as further UK sam­plings are con­cer­ned, there’s a new Stormhoek Ros

    A thought — I think in the past you’ve tal­ked about being focu­sed in blogs, that nobody cares what peo­ple had for break­fast that mor­ning or who they went for lunch with the night before unless it’s rele­vant to the blog.
