Critics Ratings
‘2010 very youthful, still way off showing at its best. Cranberry & cassis, subtle leafy note, hint of vanilla. Medium bodied with bright acidity before a pleasantly austere finish.’ – Platter’s SA Wine Guide, 4* (2014)
‘A sleek, taut style, with good energy to the core of black currant, plum and anise flavors, lined with mouthwatering iron and briar notes. The long finish lets the iron edge play out with a flicker of rooibos tea that should emerge more with cellaring.’ – James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 92/100 (Apr 2014)
