Critics Ratings

'Kanonkop Paul Sauer 1983 also bit lighter. Try not to drink any before 5 years, better still, leave up to 10. A special bottling of this wine, selected from a few barrels, is labelled for the annual Independent Wine Makers Guild, organised by Sotheby’s.' -  Platter's SA Guide 1989 - 4.5*
