'The Le Riches source fruit from Firgrove, Raithby and Jonkershoek to make this refined, fragrant, age worthy Cabernet Sauvignon. Elegant yet well structured, with plenty of grip and tannin and layers of youthful dark berry fruit. A red that's made to age gracefully. 2020-30' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2017, 94/100.
'Famous cab expertise, always beautifully crafted, as 2014. Classic blackcurrant & cedar, fennel nuance; poised, streamlined as usual. To drink earlier than the Reserve, no hardship.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2017, 4*
'Cerise-edged deep vermillion. Slightly gamey red fruit aromas, earthy rather than completely animal with slightly mushroomy notes suggesting some evolution. Fruit and tannin in balance with just enough sweetness to round off the finish, floored but attractive.' - Michael Fridjhon, 90/100 (2017)
