SRH 2023
97 points - The nose has mineral depth with underlying power, showing aromas of lemon confit, orange blossoms and struck match. The palate is medium- to full-bodied with notes of kaffir limes, creme brulee, sweet spices and chalk. Made from a selection of 12 rows planted in 1976. Exceptional. Drink or hold. Screw cap
DLT 2019
95 points - Savory and minerally with notes of wild blackberries, tobacco leaves and wet earth. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins and bright acidity, plus a saline edge showing notes of blackcurrants, raspberry bush, mocha and cassia bark. Will integrate nicely in years to come. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
