Critics Ratings

01 among finest vintages: tons sweet supple fruit now, promising good things in bottle. 14.5% alc. All these finely crafted wines; good for decade-plus improvement. 2 years French oak, +-50% new - Platter's SA Wine Guide (2004) - 5*

Very dark, still blueish. Savoury nose without a hint of the obvious sweetness that can dog simpler New World Cabernets. An appetising leafiness. Very fresh and youthful. But great build and energy. The wine has a beginning, middle and end and real lift. Still quite a bit of fine tannin. Real appeal. Both opulent and lifted. [The cheapest wine by far! Not nearly as expensive as Vergelegen's V below, nor even than their Bordeaux blend. - Jancis Robinson 19/20 (2008)
