Critics Ratings
'The 2002 Pinotage has a deep garnet core with little aging on the rim. The bouquet is very attractive with scents of dark plum and licorice, dark cherries and melted tar. The palate is medium-bodied with a pleasant grainy texture: white pepper sprinkled over dark plummy fruit and a taut, quite understated salty finish. Abrie Beeslaar described this as one of his most difficult vintages plagued by wet conditions during the season, but his efforts paid off because this is a lovely wine. Drink now-2020.' - Neal Martin, Wine Advocate (October 2013), 90/100
