04.10.25 in Capetown, SA at Villa 47 with shared interest — a year ago
Crunchy and minerally - bright acidity but could use a bit more depth and complexity for my liking. Certainly food friendly and not as lovely as I remember an earlier vintage consumed in Capetown. — 4 years ago
Highlight of holiday to Capetown. Stunning. First 10 I have given. Not botrytis but dried grapes. Incredible concentration but with precision. You could have it for pudding on its own. Utterly wonderful. — 9 years ago

Bought this at the vinyeard in Capetown two years ago. Since then it has turned a gorgeous straw color, almost like Sauternes. On the palette, the tangy gooseberry flavor has softened to something like Asian pear. Beautiful wine. — 8 years ago

Enjoyed a bottle with my brother and sister in law on a Capetown trip to Bo-Kaap. Great back story regarding the winemaker and the secret varietals used in this blend. Medium bodied red with aromas of dark cherry, cedar and smoke. Initial soft dry tannins opened up beautifully into softer, more mellow tannins after about 20 mins in the glass. Good luck guessing the varietals! — 8 years ago
