'Glossy, deep garnet. Grilled beef, dried black fruit, balsamic and gently spiced – fully mature nose. Plenty of volume on the palate, with comparatively light, peppery tannins. Supple. Ready now.' (Tasted in 2022) - Tim Jackson MW, jancisrobinson.com, 17/20
'The last of the cooler, wetter vintages before the drought years, this shows a characterful aromatics of blueberry and bramble berries, black currant and mint leaf with subtle savoury tilled earth nuances which follow to the palate. Cool, fresh, and lithe, this has expressive notes of sweet herbs, vermouth spices and a granitic mineral finish. A little crunchier and more angular than some vintages but still shows its own expressive character.' (Tasted in 2022) - Greg Sherwood MW, winemag.co.za, 93+/100
'There's a lifted, vibrant impression to the nose of this impressive, well-crafted wine. It's a pleasant surprise, as it lends levity and definition to the notes of black cherry, crushed purple flowers, licorice root and earth. The mouthfeel is plush and mouthfilling, yet not oppressively so, with ample acidity and structured but velvety tannins. The rich, ripe and robust palate leads into a long finish. It promises a long life of beautiful evolution ahead, maturing to reveal greater nuance and elegance, so cellar through 2030.' (Tasted in 2018) - Lauren Buzzeo, Wine Enthusiast, 93/100
