About the SessionJust how well do modern-era South African wines perform as they get older ? One of the most important measures of great wine is that it should be age-worthy, that is it should become more pleasurable and more interesting to drink with time in the bottle.

Critics Ratings
''Superlative' and 'sensational' are common epithets for this flagship Cabernet Sauvignon-dominated (±60%) Bordeaux blend. Lithe 2013 & sleek 2012 take up the baton of 2010 (5 stars, 98 pts) after 2011 not made. Plush, the dark fruit integrates the oak influence (65% new, 20 months) within complex, dense structure. For the long haul.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2017, 4.5*
'Meerlust's top red is a Cabernet Sauvignon-based blend with Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot as the chorus. It's a firm, serious, almost austere red that's clearly built to age. I'd like a little more fruit on the tannic bones, but this is well made in a traditional style.' - Tim Atkin SA Special Report 2016, 90/100
