Critics Ratings
'More defined, fresh and detailed than the KWV, it astounded us with waves of complexity wafting from the glass: candied figs, melon rind, nuts, molasses and a touch of cold coffee. The palate is rich, but not sticky while the finish is deep, spicy and delicious! 'Roland Peens, 96/100 – (August 2015)
'Savoury and haunting smoky and rich. Chewy tannins, with sweet chocolate and plums in a defined, beguiling and spicy. A great bottle with decades of life ahead. ' - Roland Peens, 96/100 (October 2018)
‘Excellent, old wood-aged Port, vintage-dated 1948, of which three issues have been made. Their labels reproduce rare old South African stamps.’- Dave Hughes, Wine Buyer’s Guide 1993 edition. 4*
