They can't all be great

Cleefs 2015 pinotage

It's a shame that I can't like all pinotage bottles with equal passion.

This looks red in the glass and has allegedly been matured in French oak.

You'd never know it - it's hard to make a character-free wine in this day and age but this is, unfortunately, it....

It just lacked any really definition and although it was a bit fruity, it wasn't the kind of mellow fruit flavour tinged with a hint of earthiness that I expect from a pinotage.

To be brutally honest, I'd rather buy a bottle of Aldi's Pinotage and spend the balance on something else.
