Critics Ratings
'Only 2.3 t/ha yield, 4 weeks on skins, 24 months mainly French barrels, 30% new, and 2015 is a powerhouse of perfume and flavour: black cherries, scrub, white pepper notes, salty liquorice. Richly textured, handsome, as 2014 (5 stars, 95 pts), but muscles more toned. Various bottle formats.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2020, 4.5* (94 pts)
