Critics Ratings

'Always serious wine, needing time to unmask rich, sweet cassis flavours lurking under oak (2 years, 70% new). Ripe, sombre 2004 perhaps even tougher in youth than usual, but promising: big, forthright, quite thickly textured. Some dry tannin on end. ' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2008, 4.5*

'Very concentrated, dense fruit but with an attractive leafiness that makes it refreshing. Very opulent texture on the mid palate but with a certain French oak corset. Still extremely young. Lots of ripe velvety tannins and tea leaf flavours on the finish. The most youthful wine of this selection so far.' - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17++/20 (Jan 2015)
