Critics Ratings
‘Hallmark understatement, solid structure; fresh, pure.’ - Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2005, 4.5*
‘Saturated dark ruby. A real essence of dark berries on the nose, with suggestions of crystallized fruits, dark chocolate, espresso and licorice; medicinal in a positive way. Very densely packed and very sweet; rich and expansive but held in check by firm acids. Quite tight, even a bit youthfully tart, on the powerfully tannic finish, but this really expands on the back with aeration.’ - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, 91+/100 (Mar 2003)
