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 .

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

Beautiful 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)

#anotheroneescapes #frikkiescellar #ohmyword a true #goosebumpsexperience this time it is a @bouchardfinlayson #bouchardfinlayson #galpinpeak 2015 #pinotnoir in the #hemelenaardevalley #hemelenaarde deep black-red hues, an explosive nose with smokey cherries and then on the palate a very surprising dark plums and smokey strawberries... did not expect that! Velvety smooth - gold on the palate!

Vibrant 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
