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
'Made with 85% Cabernet Franc (the highest percentage yet), with support from the other four red Bordeaux varieties, this is still quite youthful and acidic, but has the fruit weight to settle into itself over time. Violet perfumed and sensitively oaked. Drink: 2016-22' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2015, 91/100
'Forward scents of green pepper, tobacco leaf, cigar ash and menthol are framed by a fruity spice of blackberry and cassis. The medium-weight mouthfeel is approachable yet structured, with fine-grain tannins and a licorice-infused, brambly berry finish. Drink now - 2019.' - Lauren Buzzeo, Wine Enthusiast, 90/100 (Dec 2015)
