Galpin Peak Pinot Noir
Red cherries , tomatoes and oregano .... Medium bodied , soft tannins , crisp acidity . Sweet cherry fruit . A little short at this price . But certainly one of the best South African Pinots .

Mar 6th, 2016Dirty but refreshing. A really interesting take on Pinot Noir from South Africa. Reminiscent of mid-range Burgundy

Oct 24th, 2014Beautiful magnum of South African Pinot Noir; 10 yrs old.
Full-bodied, well balanced between acidity and alcohol, it is nice!

A bit hot and unidimensional— maybe after some more years in the cellar (but then again, had the tête de cuvée and it was not stellar)

Velvety smooth - gold on the palate!

Jan 9th, 2018Vibrant rusty-red colour, slightly brown on the ridges from aging. Pronounced legs. Intense nose of dark cherries and dried plum with chocolate and wood. Medium acidity, strong yet smooth tannins, dark cherries, big mouth-feel and long-lasting finish, fantastic wine!

В аромате засахаренная черешня, тростниковый сахар, чайная заварка, кожа. В развитии ирис, пыль, солома. Соеднетелое, во вкусе сладкая черешня, малина, стружка горького шоколада, подвяленное мясо. Лёгкая сладость; отличный баланс. 16,5/20
