| Description: | 4 ½ Stars 2023 Platter's South African Wine Guide Slowly reveals its signature quince, stonefruit, fresh & dried apricot in 21 (93 pts). Thrilling yen-yang of richness & mineral acidity, as in 20, with depth from 39 year old vines & 10 months on lees in seasonal oak, 8% skin fermented portion adds unexpected (for this wine( but pleasing nudge of tannin. 93 pts Tim Atkin MW 2022 One of the easiest blocks to farm," says Zak Louw. "This wine almost makes itself." Too modest perhaps, but Carl Everson is consistently among the best wines in the Breedekloof. This continues the shift to a fresher, more mineral style, with fennel and caraway seed aromas, pear, citrus and green apple fruit, subtle wood and the effortless concentration of its 1982 vines. 2023-29 |
