| Description: | 97 pts Tim Atkin MW 2023 Is this the world's greatest Pinotage? It's certainly in the top one, as the English football manager, Brian Clough, used to joke. Sourced from a 70-year-old vineyard of 3.9 hectares, it's an intense, focused, concentrated red that handles its new French oak easily, showing layers of blueberry, wild strawberry and liquorice, lots of energy and succulent, polished tannins. 2024-37 5 Stars 2024 Platter's South African Wine Guide Standout expression of old-vine pinotage, testimony to varietal's potential. Arresting blackcurrant & smoke fragrance on 21 (96 pts), succulent fruit & flawless dry finish. Dense, compact core soaks up all-new oak, 18 months, adding to already powerful, layered grape tannins, enhancing the whole's stateliness. Like siblings, for decade-plus cellaring. |
