Critics Ratings
‘Probably best after 5 years but longish keepers. Unblended and consistent, firm, biggish, intense-flavoured; since late 80’s in more accessible, less high-acid style. These generally sturdy, deriving richness, power - rather than smooth elegance - from mature vines, couldn’t-be-simpler open tank-fermentation and cellar treatment.’ - Platter’s SA Wine Guide 1996, 4*
