5 Stars 2026 John Platter’s South African Wine Guide True to cab-led Bordeaux-style, crunchy cassis & bracing grip characterize 5-way 23 (95 pts) blend. Sweet fruit, somewhat leaner then 22 (94 pts), persists & is polished by compatable 40% new oak, 22 months. Cellaring should bring positive results.93 pts Tim Atkin MW 2025 Private Collection is a serious, very well-priced assemblage of Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 14% Petit Verdot and 2% Cabernet Franc. Intense, firm and deeply coloured, it has mocha and cut grass aromas, cassis and blueberry fruit flavours, textured tannins and the backbone to age in bottle. 2027-32
