John Platter 2008 - 2Â½ Stars

Bloos is the delectable shy maiden and youngest addition to the Hermanuspietersfontein family of wines. The 2007 Bloos is a full-blooded Bordeaux RosÃ© with a blend, which makes it a RosÃ© with generous cherry, raspberry, blackberry and mulberry aromas. Add to this a hint of French Oak.
