May 13, 2013 - Nice bottle age, smooth delicate and noticeable flavors. Just really never completely opened up for me..seemed rather muted in the glass even after 3 hours decanted. Feel like it may have peaked and then some.

November 23, 2012 - Boekenhoutskloof Winemakers dinner. (@ Bottles; Sas van Gent, Netherlands): Marc Kent told us that in this 2001 there is about 4 - 5 % Cab. Franc in the wine. In the bouquet beautiful dark and red berries as well as a pleasant touch of barnyard. On the palate the same impressions, beautifully mature with sweet spices, good acidity and soft tannin.

August 23, 2010 - Black currant, mint, herbs, chocolate and tobacco on the nose. Fullbodied wine, perfectly balanced and long finish. Will last for a few more years.
