Critics Ratings

'Readily recognisable fennel, heady damson identity, and some sweet fruit richness set off by finely-tunes structure. 20 months in French oak, 20% new.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2005, 4*

'Alluring aromas of bittersweet chocolate and freshly roasted espresso are followed by a ripe, suave palate of blackberry, black currant and black fig preserves. Long, sweet finish, with fine-grained, cedar-tinged tannins carrying the fruit.' - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 90/100 (May 2005)
