Winemaker tasting Notes: 'Seamless, ethereal secondary flavours emanating from ten years of maturation. On the palate the tannins are velvety soft, sweet and silky with underlying strength that promises a few more years of life. A jewel to savour on a special occasion.'

Critics Ratings
'Another fine auction cab from the maestro. 2014 given 100% new oak treatment, befitting the solid core of dark Helderberg fruit. Rich, sleek & toned, with superb balance. Already tempting but much future pleasure in store.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2018, 4.5* (92/100)
'There are layers of aromas and flavors in this complex wine, starting with attractive scents of pressed purple flowers, wild strawberries, blackberries and woodspice. The palate is seriously spicy, but grounded by dense-yet not overdone-black fruit flavors. Medium acidity and structured tannins, followed by a long, evolving finish, complete the package. Harmonious, well integrated and balanced, drink 2020-2024.' - Lauren Buzzeo, Wine Enthusiast, 92/100 (Sep 2017)
