Critics Ratings
'The herbal element behind the name shows pleasingly as ever on 10. Big & forceful, all in balance - maybe a touch more severe & less graceful than the Cab Sauv (but that's a year older), though alcohol 0.5% lower, at 13.8%. Surely 10+ years ahead, satisfying all the way!' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2013, 4.5*
'It's partly the clone and partly the proximity of eucalyptus trees, but this wine does exactly what it says on the label. Its very minty indeed, but there's plenty of other things going on, too: herbal, tealeaf notes, with bright cassis, sweet vanilla oak and a long finish. Drink 2013-20.' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2013, 94/100
