Critics Ratings

'A Cape fixture as one of its best classically minded Bordeaux-style blends. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon & Cabernet Franc (40/36/20) & dollop Malbec into a particularly fine, impressive whole, whose appealing, developing bouquet presages a deep, ripe-fruited but subtle palate, majestically balanced, coping well with big 14.5% alc & ±22 months new French oak. Should have a long, happy future.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2006, 4.5*
