John Platter 4.5 Stars
The flagship wine of the estate, a Bordeaux blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. 15 barrels of Jeremy's top wines were aged for 33 months in French oak then blended to produce 3239 bottles (and 572 magnums) of this premium wine. Jeremy describes it as both "a collector's item" and a wine to be enjoyed when you are in the mood for opening a special red.
And we agree, it is special. Big and opulent, rich, round and very smooth with a really long lingering finish. Currently one of our very best South African reds!
