About the SessionA rich offering of vintage wines that have stood the test of time. Wine Specialist, Higgo Jacobs comments “These categories have strong historical ties with South Africa's wine industry, and they remain underrated in terms of bandwidth and prices, while consistently over-delivering on quality.”
About this Item
'Bottles like these are exceedingly scarce, often drawing significant attention at auction due to their age, provenance, and the stories they carry,' says Cape Wine Master Bennie Howard.
Revered for its balance, enduring structure, and a trophy cabinet spanning decades, this wine stands as a timeless tribute to South Africa's fortified winemaking excellence. Rich raisin, honey, and warm spice aromas unfold into a palate of astonishing harmony, reflecting the mastery of those who came before. The sweetness, acidity, and fruit are still interwoven, finishing with a smooth, lingering elegance that defies its age.

Critics Ratings
'Green-tinged with bright yellow, burgundy and brown hues. Notes of baked prunes, raisins, earth, tobacco, star anise, roasted nuts, toffee and cold coffee show off an impressive depth of complexity. The palate is towering and rich with a firm acidity - the decades of ageing have melted the sugary sweetness into waves of joy. Astonishingly pure, yet completely exotic, the finish is hedonistic and extremely long.' - Roland Peens, 95/100 (Apr 2017)
