| Description: | 93 pts 2023 Decanter World Wine Awards Restrained notes of garrigue, fynbos, vanilla and baked plums. Rich, with ample black fruit on the palate. Well-layered and composed 4 ½ Stars 2023 Platter's South African Wine Guide Refined & accomplished, 20 (92 pts) repeats established form with linearity & precision. Forest-floor earthiness & iodine-tinged minerality spice up the intense blackcurrant fruit, supple tannins in support. Wo Western Cape. 92 pts Tim Atkin Mw 2023 Late picked because of its cool, high-altitude terroir in Cederberg, this is always an intense, deeply coloured expression of Cabernet Sauvignon, that dovetails aromas of mint, wild herbs and cigar box with blueberry and blackcurrant leaf flavours and fine-boned tannins. 2025-30 Double Gold, Michelangelo International Wine & Spirits Awards A deep, dark, dense colour with only a hint of a paling rim. The nose greets with blackcurrants and plump black cherries with a distinctive dusty, herbaceous note so typical of the refined taste profile of this high-altitude vineyard. On the palate, the dark fruit lingers with a vibrancy which gives way to smooth, chalky tannins and a lingering aftertaste. This is a fine example of Cabernet Sauvignon from high-altitude, cooler growing conditions, rendering a wine of elegance and poise, rather than the blockbuster style that is more typical of warmer growing conditions. This Cabernet is drinking beautifully now but will reward those with patience." |
