Critics Ratings
'Only 20% petit Verdot in this Cab makes quite a difference, darker colour, stalky/ scrub tone but '12 has enough luscious deep fruit to compensate. Compact & structured, grainy tannins for ageing yet already giving pleasure.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2015, 4.5*
'The previous vintage of Rabelais, the 2009, also contained some Merlot. This time, it's a cuvée of Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Petit Verdot. Sourced from the best blocks at Thelema, it's meaty and concentrated, with plenty of tannic structure, well-integrated oak and inky plum and cassis fruit flavours supported by acidity. Drink: 2016-23' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2016, 94/100
