  March 5, 2019 - Bought 2b for 18/b over 5 years ago from a local gourmet grocer shortly after returning from a professional visit to the Cape Town area; we were eager to learn more about the area wines. Decanted but found almost no sediment. Rich dark purple; fragrant mature red fruit nose with some graphite; very good fruit with manageable tannins and good mouthfeel--years of life ahead. Delicious! Stored horizontally in a cool, dark basement since purchase. My evaluation: I've stopped giving scores on a "100-point scale" as I've become less convinced that they can be meaningful to others. I use a 4-category scale (perhaps with +/-)--not including flawed--which runs outstanding/notable/drinkable/poor. I considered this notable+ when considering quality, age, and price.

  June 6, 2014 - A well made cabernet and great QPR. We poured from the bottle using an aerator. Dark in the glass, blueberry and leather on the nose, the palate is dark fruit, leather and toffee. A nice finish which adds a little hint of chocolate.

  December 23, 2013 - Bought from LCBO in Ontario...and bought again....and again. Delicious !
  This is wine that punches well above its weight ($24). Tried decanted for a couple of hours, but it will not make a huge difference. Typical South african cab. Highly recommended with a good piece of red meat.
