A white wine from different grapes (some vines older the 100 years) form South Africa tastes like a big Burgundy, many of the experienced tasters put it to the famous french region. Eben knows how to make great wines, for me starting to reach his peak, powerful with a balanced creamieness, great length, the 13,5% and the oak are perfectly integrated, 94-95

loke a great burgundy instyle, starts a little bit restrained, but after air, time and temperature it shows his power and beauty but in a elegant way, some nuts, citrus, the wood is perfect integrated, alcohol balanced, long finish with a groundbreaking aftertaste, it will need at least 3 more years, one bottle left for the future, I like this subtle oxidative style, well done eben (92-94p)

nuts, almonds, honey, long aftertaste, nice acidity, fullbodied, typical eben style, light oxidation for more complexity

Herbaceous nose (Braai smoke or fynbos?).
