Critics Ratings
'Splendid '04 shows trademark Neil Ellis elegance (abetted by svelte vintage) yet a touch more powerful than usual courtesy of fully ripe fruit, fine insistent tannins and richness of 100% new French oak (22 months). Youthfully expressive, but will repay contemplation and patience.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2007, 5*
'Bright ruby-red. Sappy aromas of currant, minerals and licorice. Densely packed, vibrant and fine-grained but quite youthfully backward. Brisk acidity gives this pure, classic Cabernet a penetrating character. Finishes with broad, fine tannins and a distinct spice character. Wonderfully balanced, structured Cabernet, but give this plenty of air if you plan to open it anytime soon.' - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, 91+/100 (Mar 2007)
