Critics Ratings

'Glossy, acclaimed top-ranker. 5-variety Bordeaux red, cabernet-led in 07, proclaims its pedigree in the plush fruit, refined tannins, nothing out of place, just polished perfection. Long slow evolution ahead. Yr small barrels, 50% new. Worthy successor to refined 06.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2010, 4.5*

'Cedar, blackberry, plum and dark chocolate aromas and flavors give this poised red blend a mysterious edge. Anise and pepper add a spicy kick, the whole package rolls out in one impressive, rich wave, ending with a spicy finish. An ageable wine with great character and poise. One of South Africa's best.' - Susan Kostrzewa, Wine Enthusiast, 93/100 (Jan 2010)

'A very pure, polished style, with lush fig, black currant and blackberry fruit stitched with suave tobacco, roasted vanilla and tar notes. Nice latent depth on the finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Merlot and Petit Verdot.' - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 91/100 (Apr 2010)
