Critics Ratings
‘Effortlessly classy 2012 is seamlessly elegant & harmonious yet powerful. Restraint evident in well-judged ripeness of berries, lively acidity & smart combo French/American oak (50% new). Lithe & supple, with great density & depth. Stellar 2011 (5 stars) a hard act to follow.’ – Platter’s SA Wine Guide, 4.5*
‘A ripe, polished, layered style, with fig, boysenberry and blackberry fruit flavors all pumping through, lined with ample Black Forest cake and black licorice notes. Has cut and drive through the finish, with a nice savory streak imparting balance and length.’ – James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 92/100 (Sep 2016)
