Critics Ratings

'Top Cape example with innumerable awards, though mid-2008 05 seems yard wide of mark: textured and rich but still chewy, unforthcoming; needs time to settle, grow; contrast with 06, more accessible (despite 10% Cabernet stiffening); sappy, elegant and juicy, very well-handled chalky tannins. 100% new wood, 22-24 months.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2009, 4.5*

'Charming blackberry fruit on the nose, chocolate, black cherry and burnt coffee bean. Smooth tannins, ripe mouthfeel, juicy yet savoury with a leather-bound finish.' - Richard Hemming MW, JancisRobinson.com, 16.5/20 (Nov 2009)
