  February 4, 2022 - Better than expected. Drunk over 3 days. Alcohol on high side but food balanced. Clearly best on the last day.

  December 12, 2020 - Upon opening quite a lot of oak but with time the nose turns fruity with subtle cassis and red fruit flauvors, the palate is equally subtle, cassis, plums, mild spices, hints of sooth, tobacco and licorice, appropriately portioned acidity brings nice freshness, tannins are there but in a supporting role. At this age definitely not a big wine but a tad miniature like which is very attractive. Good and enjoyable now now but will continue to develop.

  April 8, 2016 - Rich and full! Flavours reminiscent of one of my favourite bottles to date, the Glen Carlou Gravel Quarry Cab Sauv. Brilliantly savoury with just the right amount of fruit and sweetness on the palate to balance things out. The age is showing nicely with notable game and vegetal flavours - could certainly go a bit longer though. Full South African reds always hit a note with me - the ever present notes of sweet tobacco keep me coming back for more!
