Critics Ratings
'Deep, dark colour shows youth and concentration after 12 years. The nose offers plums, bramble, vanilla and a hint of tar and salty liquorice. Juicy, rich-fruited entry flows onto the palate and fills with a super plush and seamless mouthfeel. Perfect drinking condition, with legs for further development. Typical Stellenbosch Pinotage with fruit opulence and lasting structure. At 14.7% ABV this is fully ripe, but vibrant and showing beautiful balance. 16000 bottles produced from the Kriekbult site behind the cellar, home of Kanonkop and Beeslaar Pinotage parcels too.'- Higgo Jacobs, (Feb 2020)
