'The oldest vintage of the Black Label range shows uniquely youthful aromatics that bristles with notes of raisined blueberries, polished mahogany, sweet sandalwood and hints of graphite. On the palate the wine reveals a sweetly fruited glycerol mouthfeel layered with dried herbs, vermouth spices, spicy bramble berry and blue and black berry nuances. The tannins are dense yet wonderfully ripe and add a nice element of muscle and mellow structure to the wine. Still broody and youthful, this wine has plenty of evolution ahead.' (Tasted in 2022)- Greg Sherwood MW, 93+/100
'Mid ruby-garnet. Mellow nose of dried tobacco, subtle grilled meat and background wood spice from the oak, all underpinned by ripe red and black fruit. Firm, resolved, quite fine-grained tannins that clearly structure this wine yet are balanced by the rich, meaty, slightly brawny fruit. A touch of warmth through the finish, but this is clearly a good wine and one can see why winemaker Abrie Beeslaar wanted to bottle this separately. Long.'
