John Platter Wine Guide 2005 - 4 ½ stars.
The Veenwouden Classic 2002 has an opaque purple colour, offering provocative aromas of sweet pure crushed black fruits, cassis, mixed with espresso, toasty oak and lead pencil. It possesses admirable depth, and ripeness with an exquisite balance and ends with tremendous length.
Roast lamb or beef, lamb chops, steak with berry jus.
