About this Item
2002 Crescendo
3 (1 x 3) 750ml
Crescendo was remarkable in that the wine was made in an austere, unapologetically tannic style, whilst the industry moved towards big plush reds.

Critics Ratings
'Spicy 'O2 (70% cabernet franc, 20% merlot, 10% cabernet sauvignon) will eventually emerge from gaunt, sulky youth dominated by wood & big dry tannins - fruit is there under well-fleshed musculature. (If impatient now, decant well in advance.) Unusually (for Keet) high 14.5% alc gives finish warmth, detracting a little from customary elegance.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2005, 4.5*
