'Fragrant spicy, minty tobacco leaf and raspberry nose. A chiselled, structured palate with toasted oak, pin point tannin and lean acidity. Twist of tobacco on the finish.' – Decanter World Wine Awards, 95/100 (Gold)
'Morné Vrey describes 2017 as "my favourite vintage ever", which is very high praise from this accomplished winemaker. Built on a foundation of Cabernet Sauvignon, with Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec completing the edifice, this is a youthful, balanced, effortlessly focused red with stylish 50% new wood. Drink 2020-30.' – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2019, 94/100
'65% cab in 5-way Bordeaux-style blend. 2017 as always big, forward & rather showy, with lots of dark fruit & savoury character. 45% new oak. Succulent & enjoyable in youth, but structure & depth to go a good few years, especially in magnum.' – Platter's Guide, 4.5* (94/100)
