| Description: | 93 pts Tim Atkin MW 2020 Eikendal switched to larger 500-litre oak barrels for the ageing of its Merlot from the 2017 vintage, greatly to the benefit of the wine. Sourced from a single, early-picked block, this is fresh, perfumed and focused, with fine tannins, subtle wood spice and a core of black cherry fruit. 2021-26. 4 Stars 2021 Platter's South African Wine Guide Fruitcake & a little chocolate on 18 (89 pts) lead to a soft-textured palate, where the fruit charm is kept serious by firm tannins & succulent acidity. Similar ripeness & fruit sweetness to Cab of same vintage. |
