Critics Ratings

'The nose is complex, showing red and black berries, some leafiness and even a touch of mint to go with the forest floor character you expect on an older wine. Nothing too fragile about the palate - the fruit remains quite succulent and the acidity fresh although the tannins are nicely resolved at this stage. The finish, meanwhile, has a lovely coolness about it indicative of this wine's Durbanville origins.' - Christian Eedes, 95/100 (Apr 2022)

'Slight sweetness and rounded tannins, not quite the fine structure of the '66, with more fudgy red fruit and a cool minty touch. Brilliant acidity holds vibrancy to the wine, and makes it look light and ethereal. Impressive, just a nudge below the '66.' - Higgo Jacobs (Apr 2022)
