'‘Bright crimson. Rather discreet, sophisticated nose. Then a sweet palate entry. Very classic Cab. Just a tad skinny but impressively long, which bodes well. It may take on more layers with time in bottle.’ - Jancis Robinson, JancisRobinson.com, 16+/20 (Feb 2020)
‘Mark Le Roux describes this Cabernet Sauvignon-based red (there’s a little Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc in the mix) as Waterford’s “flagship wine”. It’s certainly a brilliant red, deliberately made in a fresher style. Focused and refined, with subtle graphite and green herb notes and a core of cassis leaf fruit. 2020-30.’ - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2018, 95/100
‘Classic and refined, with appealing aromas of cassis, dried herbs and black plum welcoming a fleshy, pure and finely textured palate. Enduring and complex, yet elegant too. 2019-2025’ - Decanter, 94/100 (Aug 2018)
