‘Mid crimson. Floral nose! Transparent and beautifully balanced with rosy notes. Really fresh and vital however it was in its youth. Lightly treacly. A bit hot and sweet on the end but admirable. Quite high VA and definitely old-fashioned…’ – Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 16.5/20 (Jan 2015)

‘The 2005 Pinotage has a light, rather one-dimensional bouquet that is foursquare and serious. The palate is medium-bodied with light, fine tannins, but the secondary flavors and conservative with a leathery, dry finish that is slightly attenuated. Drink now-2016.’ – Neal Martin, Wine Advocate (Oct 2013)

‘Customary pure-fruited aromas/flavours on 05, well supported by oak (80% new Fr, 16 mths), with big but very ripe, soft tannins on long, full-fruited palate. Manages 14.5% alc well. Rather delicious as well as serious.’ - Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2008, 4.5*

‘A lovely nose of blueberry and spice leads this stylish Pinotage. On the palate, lush, mouthfilling forest berry, pepper and spice is integrated but assertive. An easydrinking wine that is nonetheless complex. Hold for additional enjoyment.’ – Susan Kostrzewa, Wine Enthusiast (Nov 2008)
