Critics Ratings

 ‘Ernie Els’ previous editions. Classic 5-part Bordeaux blend, like 2006 (4.5 stars), cab-led in outstanding 2007. Not to be hurried, layered & complex; creamy fruit, fennel, white pepper, the oak giving savoury mocha spicing to the palate. Powerful, but musculature not intrusive, part of an impressive whole.’ – Platter’s SA Wine Guide, 5* (2011)

‘Ripe and suave, with alluring blackberry, plum sauce and roasted fig notes laced with black tea, cocoa powder, maduro tobacco and smoked apple wood notes. The long, grippy finish smolders nicely, with dense, dark fruit and lovely mouthfeel. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Malbec and Cabernet Franc.’ – James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 93/100 (Sep 2011)
