4 ½ Stars 2019 Platter’s South African Wine Guide

Floral, black-fruit seduction on superbly refined, restrained & elegant 16 (93 pts). Harmonious too, with nothing dominating. Dabs petit verdot, malbec & cab franc merge seamlessly with oak (70% new) & part natural ferment to add complexity, length. Old, high-lying vines as 15 (95 pts).
