August 21, 2018 - very alcoholic, smoky, oaky, and earthy. Still disjointed and needs time to integrate.

March 10, 2018 - Bought in Franschoek. Garnet without any fading. Aromas of cassis and tobacco. Tannins starting to soften. Ripe with good balance . New world but with a nod to the old--what we found in South Africa. There is more ahead for this wine.

April 1, 2017 - Who says SA Cab cannot age? This is still drinking wonderfully well at 12 years of age. The fruits are autumnal rather than super ripe and all the better for it. Remains a well balanced wine with a decent length on the finish. Perfect wine for leg of Welsh lamb

October 5, 2013 - Drinking so well right now! Classic South African terroir comes through in the aromatics and finish. Currants, spiced cherry, beef jerky, savory herb, campfire embers, this walks a tight line of balance and power! #wine
