April 11, 2024 - Elegant. Earthy. A varietal cab sauv, yet marching to the beat of its own drum. Revealed progressive complexity on decanting. Deft wine making and intriguing terroir. Worth the price. Drink or hold. (93 Excellent wine)

October 21, 2023 - A good wine. Forgot to make notes when we had it. Recall nice pencil notes and some dark berries

October 14, 2021 - Medium ruby colour. Pronounced nose with ripe black currant, black plum and charred wood. Pronounced taste of black plum, blackcurrant and vanilla. Long and dry finish. High acidity. High tannins. Full body. An outstanding Cabernet Sauvignon. Part of my WSET3 prep. Drink now or over the next ten years. Goes well with beef or lamb.

August 22, 2021 - - Garnet color with medium forming legs. It's in total harmony with a medium/full body. Round texture with a long finish - Great and very well balanced. My preference during this SA wines tasting evening.
