Feb 1st, 2024Despite my drinking group being vehemently opposed to all things pinotage, I was able to open this bottle up for everyone to try. Acetone and hard boiled eggs on the nose but a surprising amount of red and black fruits on the palate give this wine some complexity to add to its easy acidity but hot finish.
