About this Item

Cold maceration for two days was followed by two punch-downs a day and gentle pump-overs throughout fermentation. Matured in new 225 litre French oak barrels for 15 months. A selection of the best three barrels.' - Auction Year: 2018

Critics Ratings
'Differs from its sibling in 100% new oak; 2015 is multifaceted, darker toned, more compact. Scrub, peppery spice, cocoa, lovely freshness & enough concentrated fruit to cloak the fine-grained tannins. Still an infant, the best lies ahead.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2018, 4.5* (93 pts)
'This is quite liquorous and warm in character, with a dense black-fruit core that's accented by notes of purple violet, iodine, game meat and black tea. The mouthfeel is plush and velvety, with structured tannins and spicy notes of pepper and mocha that carry through on the finish.' - Wine Enthusiast, 90/100 (Jan 2017)
