Critics Ratings
‘Robust, opulent 07’s butterscotch notes dominate peardrop and melon mid-2008, revealing 90% barrel fermented (40% new oak). Striking leesy palate, creamy persistent finish. Big 14.8% evident in flamboyant, showy whole.’ – Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2009, 4*
‘A touch of gold in the glass. Honeyed apple-crumble nose offset by lily and lemon perfume. Shimmering with beauty. Golden fruit, quince and satsuma, richly spiced and layered. Real grip. Vivid, cut-glass acidity and so, so long. Stunning.’ - Tamlyn Currin, JancisRobinson.com, 17/20 (Feb 2011)
