‘Grapes from four Swartland vineyards, predominantly situated on the schist soils of the Kasteelberg but one on granite soils on the Paardeberg. The nose shows red and black berries, potpourri, cured meat and white pepper while the palate is particularly vivid with pure fruit, bright acidity and fine tannins. This is already quite accessible which is not to imply simple – rather it’s wonderfully well balanced and elegant.’ – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za, 96/100
‘Aim is ‘old school, in tradition of northern Rhône’. Ticks that box in 2017 with expressive violets, generous black & red fruit, pepper & scrub nuances. Bone-dry, with sleek tannins & 13% alcohol perfectly aligned. Paardeberg & Kasteelberg fruit, older oak.’ – Platter's Guide, 4.5* (93/100)
