About this Item

1984 Vintage Port
2 (1 x 2) 750ml

In John Platter's 1986 South African Wine Guide, it was noted that this 'beautiful, traditional estate in Ida's Valley' - under its 'studious, soft-spoken cellarmaster, Etienne le Riche' - was now supplementing its well-known red with excellent whites - and also a 'Port' which was introduced in the following edition of the guide.

Critics Ratings

'84 from souzão (80%) and cabernet 20%. Very rich, "thick", big, good acid and broad flavours. Has structure to age beautifully.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 1987, 3.5*
