Score 90/100 · Drink 2022-2029, Anthony Mueller, Wine Advocate, Jul 2023
Mostly Pinotage with 23% Cabernet Sauvignon and 7% Merlot, the 2017 Frans Malan Reserve starts with a clean and correct nose that offers juicy and dusty red fruit aromas and hints of leather and pencil lead. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is balanced with succulent acidity and fine-grained tannins that give way to spiced plum and blackberry essence flavors before ending with a spicy and complex finish. Nicely done!
