'Priced above Series M, because "people love to buy Cabernet Sauvignon", as Mike Ratcliffe puts it, this impressive Paarl red is completed by 20% each of Merlot and Malbec and 4% Cabernet Franc. Complex, dense and very polished, it's something of an international style, but there's no denying the quality. Mocha oak, bramble, black cherry, fig and graphite flavours and enough acidity for balance to complete the picture. 2023-28' – Tim Atkin, MW, South African Report 2022, 95/100
