Critics Ratings
‘Focused and effortlessly elegant, taut and refined. 2012 contains 72% Merlot and is seasoned with Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot that supports the seamless blend, as does 60% new French oak. Rounded, svelte, layered and deeply complex. Years of life ahead.’ - Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2016, 4.5*
