Critics Ratings
'Sourced mainly from one block in Stellenbosch, this Cabernet-dominated blend of the five Bordeaux varieties is a super silky red that would easily slot into a line-up of Margaux wines. Complex, long and stylish with beautifully judged tannins. Hugely impressive. Drink: 2015-22.' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2015, 95/100
'Massive & intense, with brooding black fruit on noble liquorice-toned structure, Bordeaux-shiraz blend 2012 follows spectacular form of 2011. Very youthful but showing finesse & potential suppleness though unsettled tannins & somewhat wild vinosity.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide, 5* (2015)
