'Still youthful and showing its 80% new wood, this is a very ambitious Pinotage from a fantastic Cape red wine vintage, exhibiting considerable colour, structure and concentration, fine-boned tannins and layers of raspberry and black cherry fruit. Give it time.' – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2019, 94/100
'Matured for 16 months in French oak, 80% new, the nose shows red and black cherry and plums to go with musk, vanilla and spice plus a little banana loaf. The palate is extremely flavourful and very well balanced with pure fruit, punchy acidity and fine tannins (alcohol: 14.32%). It’s polished in the best sense and sure to appeal to a wide range of wine enthusiasts.' – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 93/100
'Variety’s signature racy acidity & well-judged 80% new oak are key to the exceptional balance & freshness of 2017. Always a serious rendering of SA’s home-grown grape; rich, dark toned & concentrated but unforced. Superb now & for decade-plus.' – Platter's Guide, 4.5* (93/100)
'The 2017 Pinotage has a lovely nose of baked black cherries, black currants, Indian ink and hints of orange blossom, all pure and refined. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins, well-pitched acidity and an elegant finish that Pinotage skeptics ought to taste in order to change their minds. This is how to do commercial/quality Pinotage.' – Neal Martin, Vinous, 91/100
