Critics Ratings
‘Bearing vintage date - and adding to the cellar’s medal accolades. 1989 slightly sweeter than previous (106g/l sugar, not as spirituous (18.9% alc) as some Portuguese examples, but beautifully refined, satisfying. Layers fruitcake, textured viscosity effortlessly carries sweetness. Tinta Barocca and Cinsaut grapes from Paarlberg; 11 years in 500 l French barrels, none new.’ - Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2003/2004, 4*
