Critics Ratings

‘Good bright, dark ruby. Superripe aromas of black raspberry, coffee liqueur, chocolate and mocha. Broad, concentrated and sweet, with flavors of dark berries, spices and cocoa powder complemented by salty minerality and sappy oak. Deeper and more tactile than the reserve cabernet and longer on the aftertaste, with subtle herb and mint notes contributing to an impression of lift. I'd give this another four or five years in the cellar before pulling the cork.’ – Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, 92+/100 (May 2013)

‘Blue-chip sem/sauv blend (±70/30) with enviable awards array. 07 classic vtge, promising complex evolution over 8-10 yrs; worth the wait. Still tight & powered by sauv, sem’s oak-spiced rich vinosity more evident on nose.’ – Platter's SA Wine Guide 2009, 4.5*
