| Description: | 94 pts Tim Atkin Mw 2022 Not too far behind Black Label in terms of quality - and it's also a quarter of the price - this is a nuanced, beautifully expressed Pinotage from a master of the grape. Matured in 80% new oak, it displays liquorice, plum and black cherry flavours, subtle cinnamon and vanilla spices, plush tannins and supporting acidity. 2023-32 4 ½ Stars 2023 Platter's South African Wine Guide Immediate greeting of forward, perfumed floral charm on 20 (93 pts), with spicy-tobacco notes from 80% new barrels. Dry oaky element on palate too, but will integrate with the full, sweet fruit – already the wine gives succulent pleasure. Firmly structuring but unobtrusive tannins & 14.2% alc make for an effect that is surprisingly refined. 93 pts James Suckling Nov 2023 A rich and spicy pinotage that shows notes of cedar, spice box, cumin, vanilla and chocolate cherries. Full-bodied, plush and juicy, with chocolate-soaked tannins. Remains fresh and lively. Drink or hold. |
