bleu cheese smell from wine?

[gwendolin]

I served the Fairview Pinotage 2002 at a wine dinner last night, and it definitely smelled like cheese, a cross between blue cheese & fresh cheddar. Guests at the dinner picked up on this without my mentioning it, so it was definitely there. I hadn't noticed it in other pinotages I've tried, but it is a funky grape. They tried to bring out the best in Pinot Noir and Cinsault, and ended up with something completely different!
