‘The aim here is "elegance", according to Stuart Botha, and there's no denying that he's achieved it with this brilliant new Director's Reserve release. Partnering Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Petit Verdot, 10% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 2% Malbec. Focused and aromatic, it has layers of mint, pepper and subtle spices, granular tannins and a core of bramble, cassis and redcurrant. 2025-30’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2024, 94/100
‘More elegance, restraint & fine structure in 2021 Bordeaux blend from cab (70%) with touches petit verdot, merlot, cab franc, malbec. Hedgerow fruit with dusting of cedar & cocoa. Touch more new oak, 47%, 22 months, further enhances depth & complexity. Fresh & youthful, with pedigree to age with distinction.’ – Platter's Guide, 4.5*(94/100)
