Critics Ratings

'Bordeaux blend of regal bearing, seamless & complete. 2008 modern, plush blue/blackberry fruit buffed by powder-fine tannins, long finish. Merlot & cabernet sauvignon & cabernet franc, dash petit verdot. No 2007. 2006 more overt than savoury 2005 (5 stars). 50% new wood 16 mths.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide, 4.5* (2011)

'Graphite, somewhat unreadable on the nose. Very mineral, dark, elusive. The poker-faced Morgenster with the fruit cards close to a tight chest. A great skein of gleaming structure. This will open out with time, but for the moment it's not looking for a play mate.' - Tamlyn Currin, JancisRobinson.com, 17+/20 (Sep 2012)
