Critics Ratings
‘These reflect vintage with subtlety, honesty, 1999 lighter-textured, more ethereal than Bordeaux-like 1998 (4.5*), but persuasive, satisfying. Varietal purity complemented by savoury acidity, fine-boned structure, tapered dry finish. Oak (18 months in new French) adds to overall sophistication.' - Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2003, 4*
