Critics Ratings
'Beautifully crafted & multifacted red, stand out example in South African context. 05 as perfumed & darkly spiced yet more slender, understated than rich & velvety 04; needs half a decade for latent berried fruit to harmonise with firmer tannins. Fr oak +-19 months, +-30% new.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide (2008)
'Red and black fruit, pencil shavings, spice and fynbos on the nose and palate. Good concentration, fresh acidity, fine tannins. Sweet-fruited and relatively plush. Shows pleasing development. Drink well now. - Christian Eedes Winemag.com 91/100 (2012)
