Critics Ratings

'A Cape benchmark, 2013 powerful yet elegant Cabernet Franc-led 5-way Bordeaux blend. Aromas richly mix cassis, dark chocolate and undergrowth, echoing on a palate that's muscular but focused and athletic, ready now and toned (33% new oak) to go the distance.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2016, 5*

'A more or less equal blend of the five red Bordeaux varieties, each of them grown on different soil types, this is as refined and concentrated as ever in 2013. Black fruits, fresh tea, mint and cassis with sweet vanilla oak: the balance is very impressive, as are the polished, fine-grained tannins. Drink: 2015-22.' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2015, 95/100
