Critics Ratings

'Generosity and seduction in '07. Luscious, complex and dense dark berry fruit core; integrated spicy oak - a rich velvet texture with lifted acidity. Ageworthy. Own vineyards, 50% carbonic maceration, rest natural ferment, 16 months 55% new French barrels.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2010, 5*

'Deep and bright with just a hint of garnet on the rim. Rich and powerfully ripe on the nose. Macerated cherries, cloves, rooibos tea leaves, tiny tip of peppermint leaf, nutmeg. Big and bold, multi-layered leather, that sweet tea leaf, a touch of liquorice and then a glorious chorus of ripe luscious and vibratingly fresh plums. So lifted. This is the wine version of a massed choir. It fills the whole mouth and keeps reverberating. Long and so lovely it makes me smile as I just listen to the echoes. SO long. Velvety tannins.' - Tamlyn Currin, JancisRobinson.com, 17.5/20 (Feb 2011)
