Critics Ratings
'Dark ruby colour, with mint and fresh herbs on the nose. Multi-faceted palate with texture, concentration and depth. Good development with much more fuel in the tank! Great length.' - International Wine & Spirit Competition (IWSC) 2018, Gold Medal
'Opulent & showy but 2011 has better balance and harmony than 2010. All-new French oak well absorbed in ripe-fruited blend of Pinotage and Merlot (50/50), and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon in the usual holding role. Faith in ageability will be rewarded!' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2015, 4.5*
