Critics Ratings

‘Medium ruby. Warm, very ripe aromas of coffee, toffee, leather, mocha, new oak and underbrush, with a roasted aspect. Sweetly oaky, deep flavors of redcurrant, plum and minerals, with hints of leather, iron and fresh blood. Youthful finish features fine, building tannins.’ -  Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, 90/100 (Mar 2003)

‘Corpulent cherry fruit shot through with mint and flashes of spice, trussed in dense dry tannins. 90% new oak for 16 months. Full production out of cellar almost on release.’ - Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2003, 4.5*
