Critics Ratings

'Underrated gem lurking under dowdy livery, simple screwcap; hero of numerous competitions (including Veritas, Peter Schultz, FCTWS); vintage-dated since 1989, matured 11 years in old-oak. 1993 slightly drier than previous (93g/l sugar), less spirituous (18% alc.), firmer. Paarlberg Tinta Barocca and Cinsaut grapes' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2004, 4*
