Critics Ratings
’Meaty mocha merlot’ isn’t the sort of mantra GDC would employ but it’s irresistible here: this outstanding Merlot evokes gamebird, choc associations. 00 more intense; arresting savoury bacon (not smoked!) mingles with delicate violets; finish taut but more approachable at same age than 99.’ – Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2004, 4.5*
