Critics Ratings

‘Classic 06 announced by expensive cedary oak, cassis fragrance; rich dark fruits, still properly swathed in tight-knit, vibrant grip. Fine definition, freshness and balanced oaking (40% new) ensure a grand future. With 10% other Bordeaux varieties.’ - Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2010, 4.5*

‘A rock-solid Cabernet, with good flesh to the currant paste, braised fig, cedar and coffee notes that stay focused and integrated through the toasty finish.’ -  James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 90/100 (May 2009)
