'Wonderful combination of red and black fruit with prominent support from 50% new oak providing both softness and another layer of flavours including dark chocolate and kirsch. Delicious.' - Higgo Jacobs (Feb 2021), 94/100

'Very sweet and primary and solid. Plums strawberry and sweetness. Little gooey, some tertiary notes with lots of pure fruit. In a great spot. Delicious. Savoury and spicy. Drink now to 2035' - Roland Peens (Feb 2021)

'(a Bordeaux blend based on 56% cabernet sauvignon): Full medium ruby. Sexy dark fruits, coffee and spices on the nose. Then lush, sweet and seamless, with glossy flavors of red and dark berries, truffle and spices. Wonderfully ripe, velvety wine with sweet tannins, superb balance and impressive length. A very classy, harmonious wine in a rather New World style.' - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous.com (March 2011), 93/100

'Glossy, acclaimed top-ranker. 5-variety Bdx red, usually cab-led, as in 08. As always, svelte, seamless & ageworthy; complex interplay of flavours, spice, blackcurrant, herbal notes, with trademark tailored tannins the perfect foil.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2011, 4.5*
