Critics Ratings

'Polished, modern classic, stiffened with +-10% cab. Classy oak spice married with dark plum minerality on 03; elegant, with depth, length of fresh, intense flavours. Fine, ripe tannin will benefit from min 3-4 yrs softening; promises usual 9-10 yrs evolution. French oak, 80% new.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide (2007)

'Saturated deep red. Complex nose melds plum, mocha, menthol and chocolate. Dense, supple and serious, with tobacco, earth and mineral tones to go with the plummy fruit. Soil-driven and slightly rustic merlot in an old-fashioned style but with strong material. Finishes with broad, palate-dusting tannins and good persistence.' - 89/100 Stephen Tanzer, Vinous.com (2009)
