4 ½ Stars 2024 Platter’s South African Wine Guide Cab-led Bordeaux blend with merlot (52/26), cab franc, malbec & petit verdot reflects sheathed power of classic 21 (91 pts) vintage. Coiled & muscular structure restrains dark-fruited core; cocoa-dusted nuance to the dry tannins, older oak, 14 months, in sync. Ageworthy, though tempting91 pts James Suckling Nov 2023 Aromas of wild currants, dried herbs, bay leaves and baking spices on the nose. Medium to full body with plush tannins. Well-built with a core of berries and herbs and it is slightly firmer at the edges. Balanced with a vivid finish. 52% cabernet sauvignon, 26% merlot, 15% cabernet franc, 5% malbec and 2% petit verdot. Drink or hold.
