Critics Ratings

'First made in 2002, this comes from parcel of 23-year-old vines and is produced in correspondingly small quantities. Savoury spice, some fynbos, subtle oak and a minerally, granite core, underpinned by fine-boned tannins. Drink 2015-21.' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2015, 93/100

'Smallest crop ever from elevated syrah/shiraz vineyard yields 2013's concentrated dark fruit, infused with scented violets, in streamlined, fine-grained tannin structure. Complex, intense, well groomed & suave. Confident rebound after 2012 (4 stars, 89 pts), recalling 2011 (5 stars).' - Platter's SA Wine Guide, 4.5*

'Rock-solid, with a core of dark plum, blackberry and black currant notes melding with bittersweet cocoa, tobacco and singed alder details through the finish. Reveals a buried graphite spine. This should unwind nicely with a bit of cellaring.' - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 92/100 (Sep 2016)
