"Produced in decent quantities of 35,000 bottles, this is a superb bottling of Director's Reserve that should keep its many fans happy. Pairing Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Petit Verdot, 10% Merlot and 3% each of Cabernet Franc and Malbec, it's a self-assured wine with appealing focus and restraint, mint, graphite and violet aromas, savoury tannins and layered cassis and red berry fruit. 2025-35" 95pts Wine of The Year Tim Atkin MW SA report 2023
