Critics Ratings

'High-flying 5-way Bordeaux blend maintains appeal in 2013. Aristocratic yet approachable, intricate yet focused, with beguiling black fruit and earthy, rich core. Refined and supple in youth, but promising great things in future years.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2016, 5*

'Supplemented with a little bit of fruit from Firgrove, this is mostly an estate blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Malbec. It's a typically stylish, well balanced cuvée from the gifted Morné Vrey, with a backbone of tannin, some mint and graphite and a long, spicy finish. Drink: 2017-24.' - Tim Atkin SA Special Report 2016, 93/100
