Critics Ratings
'Higgo Jacobs remarked on how special a week it had been for us having tasted and drank the 1948 on 3 occasions as part of the leadup to the 2015 Nederburg Auction. All 3 bottles were beautiful – composed, warming and complex, with the Tawny hues balanced by red fruits, spicy notes and raisin sweetness. It has terrific freshness and structure for decade more cellaring.' - Roland Peens, 95/100 (August 2015)
