See the 2006 vintage review below:
'On the nose red fruit, floral fragrance, typical Cab Franc leafiness and spice. “Nothing remotely reminiscent of chocolate,” as winemaker André van Rensburg observes. The palate is medium bodied , almost delicate. There’s fresh acidity and the tannins are already very soft so there seems little point in keeping it much longer. Vergelegen are to be commended for not releasing wines too young as so many of their counterparts do but I did find myself thinking that this particular wine lacked a bit of oomph.' (Tasted in 2011) - Christian Eedes, winemag.co.za, 16/20
