Ernie Els Signature 2015 Bottle size: 750ml
South Africa, Stellenbosch
R875
'Distinguished flagship in 2015 shows authoritative intensity & complexity. Similar 5-way Bordeaux blend to 2014 (4.5 stars, 93 pts), with majority cab & merlot (60/25), touch less alcohol (14.7%) & new oak (70%, 20 months), but more gravitas & concentration of dark fruit. Despite 54 months bottle ageing, deserves cellaring another decade, especially in magnum.' – Platter's Guide, 5* (96/100)
'The top wine from this famous Helderberg winery is a cuvée of predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot and 5% each of Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec. It's a bold, sturdy, ageworthy red showing lots of oak at present, but the underlying fruit, leafy and intense, with notes of black fig and bramble, is full of character. Worth an extra point with an additional year in bottle. Drink 2019-25.' – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2019, 94/100
