“An invitingly youthful, opulent nose bursting with blueberry pie, vanilla pod spice, violets, cedar wood and polished mahogany. Very impressive with lifted black currant and raisined cranberry notes, the complexity of this wine is mesmerising. The palate is wonderfully suave, fleshy and elegant, showing superb harmony and balance combined with Cabernet Sauvignon backbone, power and breadth. There are lashings of delicious sweet cassis, black currant pastille, blueberries, and seductive creamy oak vanillins. Such a polished example, finely tuned, and positively oozes with class and pedigree. This impressive 2014 should drink well now and for another 25+ years if well cellared. Bravo Hannes Myburgh and winemaker Chris Williams.”

4 ½ Stars 2018 Platter’s South African Wine Guide

Cab-based (67%) flagship blend with merlot, cab franc & petit verdot. One of the most classic local expressions of the style. 14 gentler than the cab, with the sleek, darkly bright elegance of the merlot, & its own firm tannic balance & succulent suppleness based on ripe fruit.
