Critics Ratings
'A definite dark rusty amber now, and showing much more oxidative aromas. Minty, orange peel, very complex flavours, and finely layered like puff pastry. Rasping acidity that keeps the thick marmalade unctuousness under control.' - Richard Hemming MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17.5/20 (Feb 2009)
'Rich, deep gold with characteristic mint-toffee-lime aromas, true to the style. A bold 14-15% alcohol structure ensures keepability; promises a long, operatic unfurling of layered nuances in bottle.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2000, 5*
