Lovely to see a mature South African shiraz in the line up in the release. This is a prime example of a wine at its prime, fully mature, just at the setting sun of fruit and the rise of earthy, tea and tobacco leaf flavours. It was surely never a blockbuster to begin with, but the alcohol-acid-tannin balance must have been in place from the start to achieve this harmony ten years on. Quite dent length and fine perfume all around - well worth a look for fans of mature wines at a fair price. Score: 89 (John Szabo, MS, WineAlign.com, Mar 2013)
