Landskroon 1999 Cape Vintage Port (Paarl)
- $20
This squat-bottled offering shows a rich and dense stewed fruit, dried plum and raisin platform. The fruit’s up front, with attractive nut and smoke accents showing as this opens up in the glass. Even in feel, not overly dense or heavy, and accessible now.

Landskroon 2003 Jerepico Morio Muskat (Paarl)
- $15
Bright, focused classic orange-apricot Muscat aromas and flavors shine in this fortified wine from Paarl. Though light in feel, it shows a little heat—no surprise with its 18% alcohol. Refreshing very cold from the nose right through the tangy citrus-spice close.

Landskroon 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon (Paarl)
- $16
A satisfying nose of red plum, anise, melon rind and red licorice whet the palate, where the full plum and anise flavors are accompanied by dry toast. A shot of bitter herbs are sensed at the backpalate and on the medium length finish.

Landskroon 2000 Merlot (Paarl)
- $16
Nose offers loam, button mushroom, dry leather and rhubarb aromas. The palate is slimmer, with light fruit and leather that carries over to the lightly toasted finish. Simple and straightforward, but good. —K.F.

Landskroon 2002 Shiraz (Paarl)
- $16
Even and medium weight, with sweet berry-plum fruit, plus nice oak. The wine is not terrifically complex, but is handsomely balanced. All components are in harmony—including a modest dose of South African earthiness, closing with smooth, dry tannins.

Landskroon 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon (Paarl)
- $16
A leathery wine, linear and lean in the mouth with dry tannin and acid that lends a mineral feel. Mint and modest red fruit aromas are secondary to leather, which also frames tangy dark berry in the mouth, then grabs hold on the spicy finish.

Landskroon 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon (Paarl)
- $15
Light but quite tasty with red berry, black plum, herb and licorice aromas and flavors. An even mouthfeel and mild, smooth tannins complete the profile in this very drinkable, claret-like wine.

Landskroon 2000 Shiraz (Paarl)
- $18
An uncharacteristic note of cucumber blows off, leaving simple aromas of light toast and red fruit. These continue on the hollow palate, with an odd note of spinach blooming through tart fruit on the finish. —K.F.
