About the Session

Just how well do modern-era South African wines perform as they get older ? One of the most important measures of great wine is that it should be age-worthy, that is it should become more pleasurable and more interesting to drink with time in the bottle.

Critics Ratings

'Maturing mid ruby with orange tinges. A little stalky/reductive with sour cherry and rose hip underneath. Gains in complexity with aeration. Complex, ripe cherry shot through by vibrant acidity. Plenty of tannins and depth. Gorgeous if embryonic and with plenty of potential.' - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 18/20 (Jan 2018)

'Luminous full red. The Lively, perfumed nose combines red cherry, blueberry, minerals and flinty aromas. Rich and densely packed, showing captivating peppery lift to the very ripe and blue fruit flavors. It has continued to develop nicely and showcases the depth, solid structure and length to support a long, graceful evolution in bottle. Knockout Brunello from one of the quality leaders of Montalcino (and Italy, for that matter).' - Ian D'Agata, Vinous, 96/100 (Feb 2018)

'Delicate aromas of new leather, wild berry, chopped mint and a balsamic whiff of eucalyptus come together on this stunning wine. The palate is still youthfully restrained, but already offers juicy Marasca cherry, raspberry compote, star anise and a hint of truffle set against tightly wound, refined tannins. Bright acidity provides balance. It needs time to unwind and fully develop but promises to blossom into a stunner. Drink 2023-2038.' - Kerin O'Keefe, 97/100 (May 2018)
