December 8, 2021 - Pleasant and approachable but somewhat nondescript
December 31, 2020 - Deep ruby appearance with nicely integrated tannins but somehow rather bland.
May 10, 2018 - Moderately firm structure and a nicely balanced level of dark fruit. A very solid wine
September 21, 2017 - Tasting with neighbors - showed very well against 2010 Meerlust Rubicon and a 2000 Saint Emilion Bordeaux. Soft ripe blackcurrenr, balanced French oak helped carry the structure through to a medium finish. The Rubicon stood up to the hangar steak and Greek salad better than the Baron, but on its own, the Baron was the wine of the night.
February 2, 2016 - lovely cabernet reaching drinking window…smooth and well integrated tannins. very harmonious.
January 8, 2016 - Two bottles - the first was verging on jammy sweet fruit,the second was better balanced with fresh acidity and some semblance of a tannic structure. Not typically Western Cape perhaps, but still very enjoyable. Should continue to drink well for a few years
September 7, 2014 - second test about this wine , I feel amazing, about 2hours awake.l link the smell of cranberry and hawthorn, very fresh, mediun bodied,but tannin inadequate support at last
