'A more youthful aromatic profile, the 2011 shows subtle hints of bruleed coffee beans, burnt toast crusts, black cherry and underlying notes of graphite and boot polish. The palate entry is creamy, powdery and soft with beautifully rounded tannins bolstering a blue and black berry fruit concentration that shows impressive oak integration. The finish is mouth-coating and powerful but never oversteps the boundaries to lose any elegance or textural harmony, leaving a long, lingering savoury coffee and chocolate intensity in the mouth. Another youthful expression.' (Tasted in 2022) - Greg Sherwood MW, winemag.co.za, 94+/100
'Mid ruby-garnet. Camphor and grilled meat, with some touches perhaps of tobacco or forest floor. Chalky, mouth-coating tannins that show some polish and resolution, with tobacco and dried red cherry carrying through the decent-length finish. Probably a Black Label that was approachable a little earlier, with a streak of relative freshness too.' (Tasted in 2022) - Tim Jackson MW, jancisrobinson.com, 16.5/20
