About the SessionJust 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
'Generally among the top varietal Cabernets in South Africa - no surprises given the talent of its winemaker - this is a serious, densely structured red that's built to age in bottle. Incense and cassis notes are framed by savoury tannins. Drink 2020-30' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2017, 94/100
'Sweet black fruit on the nose and palate, leading into a slightly sickly note on the finish. Smoothly tannic and plump of body, with acidity that seems perhaps a little overdosed? Well integrated oak spice. Lingering smoky notes.' - Richard Hemming MW, JancisRobinson.com, 16/20 (Mar 2019)
'Refined, with mature black tea, sage, tobacco and cedar notes infusing the core of lightly mulled black currant and plum fruit. The fine-grained finish lets the cedar element linger, while the fruit keeps pace. Drink now through 2022.' - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 91/100 (2019)
