Christian Eedes, Winemag:
“Grapes from a vineyard planted in 1988. Partial whole-cluster fermentation. Matured in older 225- and 400-litre barrels. Cranberry, red cherry, rose, fynbos and an intriguing slightly wild, cured meat note. The palate is pure and poised with zesty acidity and fine tannins, the finish super-dry finish. 93/100.”
