Black cherry and dark, ripe pomegranate with some forest floor underneath it all. Yet again an impressive South African Pinot from Elgin. Opened up a little after time in the glass, and there's a little touch of the singed wood and smokiness that's characteristic of Cape South Coast Pinot. I hope folks wise up to what's happening with this grape down there.

This looks to be a reserve bottling of #jhmeyer #southafrica #elgin high altitude pinot noir vineyard called #palmiet #singlesite made #unfinedunfiltered which is pretty standard; however very vulnerable with plain natural cork (makes me guess how it was without cork effects); this is quite aged for low pH pinot, no idea what cork has done; very much the forest floor, funky no-varietal style, heaps sappy, full , oak clever; nice wine, drink now, no need to keep, 13%
