NM93
"The 2020 The Agnes has a clean, precise, crushed stone nose with dewy green apple and fresh pear and grassy meadow aromas. The palate is balanced, taut and fresh, featuring a fine bead of acidity and spicy undertow that defines the finish. Reserved but cerebral, I would like to see where this goes with bottle age." 93 pts., Neal Martin, vinous.com

MJ18/20TA94
"Gottfried Mocke bled off 30% of the juice on this blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc in 2023 to concentrate what was left behind in a lighter vintage. Curated in 60% new oak, it... combines aromas of mint, fynbos ad coffee bean with a refined, sappy, nicely delineated palate of bramble, blueberry and blackcurrant leaf and a fresh, focused finish."

MJ19.5+/20TA95
"Nearly all sourced from the farm in Franschhoek, this is the more floral of the two Boekenhoutskloof Cabernet Sauvignons in 2023, partly thanks to the presence of 14% Cabernet Franc in the blend.... Carrying its 80% new oak lightly, it's leafy, scented and enticing, with filigree tannins, impressive underlying structure and acidity and dried herb, cassis and paprika flavours." Drink 2026-2033.

MJ18.5TA96
"One of a handful of Cape whites that I buy most years and expect to cellar for a decade, this is a subtle, refined, early picked Franschhoek blend of Semillon and 3% Muscat d'Alexandrie. Deftly... fermented in 70% new barrels, it has beguiling aromas of vanilla spice, cardamom and saffron, layers of tangerine, beeswax and fresh lemons and understated concentration."
