Critics Ratings

'Slight greenery, mushroom and earth. Opening up to warm soft fruit and a supple palate. Rich and velvety, with soft succulent and sweet fruit. Nice length with an earthy edge. Drink now to 2035' - Roland Peens (Feb 2021), 91/100

'Wood polish, mint, liquorice, soy. Palate is lively, actually still a little angular. This would benefit from decanting.'- Higgo Jacobs (Feb 2021), 91/100

'Concentrated, intense 05 from low-yield vyd. Cassis, leafy notes lead to supple, sumptuous & vibrant palate. Still young, showing dense tannins, but flavour, length & intensity to rival 04 (first since 93). 2 yrs oak, 75% new.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2009, 4.5*
