Critics Ratings

'The flagship, carefully made and for the longer haul. Mainly Cabernet Sauvignon, with Shiraz, Merlot, 2007 demonstrates components' value; smoky asphalt notes in the fruit, burly, fleshy structure, Cabernet tamed and enriched'- Platter's SA Wine Guide 2011, 4.5*

'Bright, deep ruby-red. Vibrant, precise aromas of cassis, black cherry, licorice, bitter chocolate, minerals, mint and sexy oak, plus a whiff of tar. Then sweet, chewy and very deep, with a compelling lush texture giving it surprising early appeal. The biggest and deepest of this set of wines, and the longest, finishing with noble tannins and exceptional building sweetness. Offers wonderful richness and concentration without undue weight. Built for a long and graceful evolution in bottle. (61% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Shiraz and 9% Merlot; 15% alcohol).' - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, 93+/100 (Mar 2011)
