Critics Ratings
'Used to just bear estate name. New one, with 08, refers to Bordeaux quintet make-up. Deep, spice-laden fragrance sets classy tone for this sleek, cab-franc-led blend. Ample sweet flesh, complexities need further 4-6 years to emerge from vibrant, taut structure.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2013, 4.5*
'A supple, restrained style, with tasty roasted fig, black currant paste, mulled spice and a whiff of tobacco curling through the finish. Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Malbec and Merlot... 2,080 cases made.' - Wine Spectator (Tasted 2012), 89/100
