Critics Ratings

'Hero of many competitions (including Veritas, Peter Schultz, FCTWS). Recent versions slightly drier, less spirituous (18% alc.), shorter time in wood (now 8.5 years), so current 1996 unexpectedly sweet (109g/l RS). Complex bouquet of spice, burnt caramel, nuts and dried fruit; slippery tail. Paarlberg Tinta Barocca and Cinsaut grapes.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2006, 4*
