'More herbal and leafy than the 2015, and that gives it a lovely flash of freshness on the palate. Luxurious, svelte and lengthy.' (Tasted in 2018) - Richard Hemming MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17.5/20
'A blend of 45% Malbec, 34% Merlot and 21% Cabernet Sauvignon, there are some upfront notes of game, leather and cured meat that add interest to the black plum and cherry core. The palate is plush and broad, but not flat, with soft, approachable tannins and pleasant dark berry and plum flavors that are lifted by ample acidity.' (Tasted in 2017) - Lauren Buzzeo, Wine Enthusiast, 90/100
'Red, blue and black fruit plus notes of vanilla, chocolate, earth and oak spice. It really is immaculately well made – luscious on entry, soft on the finish but not glib or ingratiating. If you like a fruitier style of red wine with less aggressive tannins, then you can’t go wrong. Due for release on 1 May.' (Tasted in 2016) - Christiaan Eedes, WineMag.co.za, 92/100
