  December 22, 2022 - Big and bold wine. Dark cherries, blackberry, dark chocolate. Nice to rink already now, but will be better in 5-10 years.

  October 14, 2022 - Well made, as always, but this was way too early.
  Will try again in 4 years.

  September 5, 2022 - Atkin 95+ Tasting Event (and dinner wines) (Strauss Auction, Cape Town (and Jo'burg)): A complex array of sawdust, woodsmoke, cassis and blackberry on the nose. A nicely extracted palate with cedarwood, toast and wild berries with a lively acidity that provides freshness. This is set against a compote-like intensity of the fruit with richness and flavours of mocha; coffee grinds and very dark, bitter chocolate. Dry-edged firm tannins with a long finish and a linear frame. It could benefit from a little more material to the mid-palate - a little hollow? It finishes with that pastille sweetness and some dried herbs and remains enjoyable.
  Blend of 57 CS, 14 Merlot, 14 Malbec
