I have a basic rule and more so with good #Pinot and that is...if my wife and I take more than one day to finish the bottle than it ain’t great and if we take more than 2 days, well...it ain’t great either. This is a let down and lately most#southafricanwine is a let down. This gives off ethyl acetate and volatile acidity aromas and that acidity bites as you sip.

16/20 (88/100) Вино с ароматами красного яблока, малины и ванили. Легкое с высокой кислотностью и не слишком интенсивными, но суховатыми танинами. Весьма неплохо, но не хватает свежести. #capewine2018

I am rating the Feldspar Pinot Noir here. Quite light and nice, good flavor after a minute on the tongue. Not fruity at all.
