Critics Ratings
'Only the best 30 barrels out of 300 selected for this kingpin Pinotage, 2014 big (over 15% alcohol) but fresh and refined. Rich black berry/cherry fruit already in perfect harmony with cedar/vanilla oak spice but will really sing in a decade.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2017, 4.5*
'Full ruby-red. Musky, oaky aromas of cassis, dark cherry, licorice and cedar, plus a whiff of woodsmoke. Plush, broad, mouthfilling wine with very sexy chocolatey oak and dark berry flavors dominating. Wonderfully sophisticated and deep but will need time to express itself. I'd like to come back to this in five years, when it's had a chance to absorb some of its baby fat.' - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, 92/100 (May 2017)
