Critics Ratings
'Since maiden 98, medalled 'super reserve' & pretender to Cape's Pinotage crown. 01 (5*) a perfect Pinotage: caramel nose; rich, ripe fruit; excellent structure with round, ripe tannins; massively built (15.3% alc) but light-textured. 100% new Fr oak, 12 months. Showpiece for a sometimes maligned grape's best qualities. From +-30-yr-old single vineyard.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2004, 5*
