Critics Ratings
‘Cape standout since 1993 first electrified the crowds; strong claim as estate’s flagship. Latest 1998 taut still (winemaker suggests drink in another 5 years - we agree), muted , leafy cassis whiffs; firm tannin structure from 10 day skin maceration; 18 months French oak, 40% new.’- Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2001, 4*
