94 pts Tim Atkin MW 2023

The proportions may vary from vintage to vintage, but this is always a blend of five red Bordeaux varieties. Cabernet Sauvignon is just the dominant grape in 2019, with the remaining 75% made up of Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Merlot and Malbec.

4 ½ Stars 2023 Platter’s South African Wine Guide

Notable precision, presence & poise in 19 (93 pts), showcasing cab, cab franc & petite verdot (25/23/23) & 2 other Bordeaux varieties at peak ripeness. Weightless concentration of cassis, graphite, dark plum & dried tealeaves with superb tannin structure & supportive 18 months in 74% new oak. Ageworthy, like last tasted 17 ***** (96 pts).
