'Another of South Africa’s iconic vintages, this wine shows lovely Burgundian notes on the aromatics with sweet bramble berry fruits, forest berry, wild strawberry, incense and black currant notes. The palate is typically 2017 in character with weightless intensity and concentration, a seamless acid – tannin balance and a creamy textural mouthfeel that screams pedigree and class. A superbly made fine wine that is impressive on any fine wine yard stick.' (Tasted in 2022) - Greg Sherwood MW, winemag.co.za, 97+/100
'Deep black-ruby. Cooked raspberry, fresh earth, vanilla and clove spice. Compact, dense fruit on the entry, with powerful, but fine-grained tannins. Lots of density and weight. Needs time, but this has the core of quality to potentially equal the 2015.' (Tasted in 2022) - Tim Jackson MW, jancisrobinson.com, 17.5/20
