| Grape: | Cabernet Sauvignon (90%), Merlot (10%) |

| Cellar Notes: | A Cape classic. Massive showcase 32 year single vineyard wine. Leads the pack in the Cederberg range. Limited 110 cases production. In different league, hand-crafted, classically styled 2005, made to mature (peak around 2010 – 2015) though already delicious.
A classically dry finish with a touch of Merlot (10%). Will reward patience but deserves a few years to give of its best. |
| Appearance: | Serious looking deep almost black colour |

| Palate: | The 100% new French oak aging for 18 months has added complexity to the rich, multi-layered plum and blackcurrent fruit flavours, with tobacco / mint and some earthy tones |
| Serving Notes: | Red meat and game |
