Critics Ratings
"In a wide optimum drinking window, the ’90 holds generous, rich dark fruit in its core, broadened by the typical pencil lead and cigar box, with subtle hints of dried herbs adding further interest. Wonderfully integrated and harmonious, the palate is silky and fine, but with sufficient stuffing for further keeping.” – Higgo Jacobs, 95/100 (March 2026 – Tasted at recorking.)
"100% Cabernet. These generally sturdy, long-lived cabernets, deriving richness and power - rather than smooth elegance - from excellent, mature vines and consistent cellar treatment … 1990 surprisingly good - though more one-dimensional - for the vintage." - Platter's SA Wine Guide 1994, 4*
