Critics Ratings
‘Elegant, svelte and lithe 2011 has gentle cherry tobacco and blackcurrant edge. Generous, ripe yet structured, complex and layered - truly an iron fist in a velvet glove! Great harmony and integration. Lingers long. Includes drops of Merlot and Cabernet Franc; 30% new oak.’ - Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2015, 4.5*
‘89% Cabernet Sauvignon. Very Cabernet nose and juicy and very finely handled tannins. Sweet but not simple. Very appetising and gentle. Dry finish but not drying.’ - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17/20 (Jan 2015)
