Tim Atkin of course doesn’t
need any introduction to those who appreciate good wine. A British Master of
Wine, he has distinguished himself as an award-winning wine journalist and is
frequently invited to act as a judge for international wine competitions.
What’s more, he is widely regarded as an expert on South African wines and the
scores in his report are based on his extensive tastings, locally and abroad. “I again tasted more than 1,000 wines this year and feel
very positive about the future of Cape wine,” says Tim.
Among
Creation’s highest scoring wines is the 2014 Creation Art of Chardonnay which was
allocated a whopping 94 out of 100. This elegant wine is described as “exquisitely balanced …
with rich vanilla pod and peach kernel contrasted by vivacious pear and bracing
minerality.”
Another
top performer is the 2013 Creation Reserve Pinot Noir which Tim awarded an equally impressive
score of 94. This superbly balanced wine shows magnificent flavours of
dried fruit, raspberry and spice and is a prime example of Creation
cellarmaster Jean-Claude (JC) Martin’s Pinot panache.
“We value Tim
Atkin’s opinion and are thrilled with these scores,” commented JC.
