This Cape classic showcase wine from a 24 year-old single vineyard leads the pack in the Cederberg range. Production is limited to ± 180 cases. Serious looking deep almost black colour. The 18 months maturation in 100% new French oak barrels has added complexity to the rich, multi-layered plum and cassis fruit flavours, adding tobacco and eucalyptus and some earthy tones. A classically dry finish with a touch of Merlot to help soften the firm Cabernet muscle. Bottled only in top years (no 2002), this is a wine with power and depth for a long life.
ageing : The hand-crafted, classically styled 2001 vintage, although made to mature (with its peak expected at around 2007 – 2010), is already eminently drinkable.
