Critics Ratings

'It was a great bottle with super-concentrated, ultra-ripe dark fruit, licorice and tar but also the vaguest hint of herbaceousness. Rich and full but nothing out of proportion - the fruit still remarkably primary, the tannins still firm and forceful. Fresh, focused and long. You wouldn't want to drink it every day but then again you wouldn't take the Gallardo to do the school run.' - Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 93/100 (Mar 2014)

'Impressive, brooding style Cabernet here, with espresso, black currant, cassis, toast and spice notes on a dense, yet lush frame. Very ripe, with a tongue-gripping finish that delivers another blast of fruit. Serious effort here.' - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 91/100 (Apr 2003)

'Bright, saturated ruby-red. Raw currant, raspberry, dark chocolate and mint on the nose. Concentrated and fresh, with a leafy complexity and lovely balancing acidity. Expansive, layered wine, finishing long, sweet and ripely tannic, with a note of mocha.' - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, 90/100 (Mar 2003)
