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.

16.5/20 (91/100) Аромат уходит в чёрные ягоды: черешню и ежевики, есть ноты копченостей и ментола. Довольно высокая кислотность и мягкие, обволакивающие танины. Этот винтаж мне нравится меньше, чем 2016 и 2017, хотя чувствуется Единая стилистика, 2018 очень напоминает Германию.
