Critics Ratings
'Enduring success for this trail blazing flagship; sometimes blended, latterly 100% cabernet latest 01 with 2% merlot. Classy cassis, tea-leaf & cinnamon bouquet; darkly handsome fruit cosseted in fine oak,' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2005, 4*
'Subtler, more primary aromas of cherry, currant and tobacco. Then sweeter and fresher in the middle palate, with more raspberry fruit showing. With more buffering flavor, the tannins come across as finer and the flavors linger longer.' - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous.com (March 2005). 88+/100
