I did not get to write notes on the last three wines, just scores. We had to get to Russell Hamilton.
However, I wish I had been able to write them as these were the wines I was looking forward to spending some time on.
Peter & Andrew Allan of Crystallum are the third generation of winemakers and sons of the man who pioneered Pinot Noir winemaking in the Hemel-en-Aarde which; is what drew me to the region that is about another hour plus SE of Stellenbosch and a very good area to produce Pinot Noir.

18.5/20 (96/100) Сложный и насыщенный аромат с нотами вишни, малины, белого перца и поджаренного хлеба, намеком на розмарин и восточные специи. Довольно тельное с высокой кислотностью и интенсивными, но приятными по текстуре танинами. Отличная концентрация во вкусе. Великолепно! Можно было бы легко перепутать с grand cru Бургундии, если бы не слишком светлая окраска. #capewine2018
