Critics Ratings

'Modern classic' bdx-style blend; 03, 05 honoured as such, taking trophy on Calyon competition. Latter vintage a real charmer. Entices with fresh, ripe fruit perfume, silky sleekness, retraining ripe tannins. French oaked, 50% new, 20 months.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2008, 4.5*

'54% Merlot, 33% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Petit Verdot, 4% Cab Franc, 3% Malbec. Platter 2008 4.5 star rating. Blackish crimson. Lead pencils and concentration and real integrity. Underpriced. Acidity a little obvious but a good drink for the money. GV' - Jancis Robinson 16.5/20 (2008)
