Critics Ratings
'Much bigger, plusher tones than previous; seriously substantial - in richness, ripe-fruited density rather than alcohol (13.6%); probing, classic, terroir-reflective blackberry/cassis flavours in fine, insistent tannin wrapping.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2002, 5*
'The outstanding, saturated dark ruby-colored 1999 Cabernet Sauvignon is reminiscent of a St. Julien from a great, ripe vintage. Sweet black currant, spices, and blackberries can be discerned in its effusive aromas. This medium to full-bodied wine has gorgeous depth of fruit, an elegant, almost feminine personality, and a long pure finish. Cassis, other assorted black fruits, blueberries, and cherries are found throughout its silky-textured core.' - Pierre Rovani, Wine Advocate, 91/100 (Apr 2002)
