Rather musky nose of pine smoke and maraschino cherry, plenty of pine needle Forrest floor action here. Mouthfeel is compressed, tart fruit that rinds straight through, needs time in zee cellar

Drank recently. Definitely past it’s prime. Would not drink again or recommend.

ミネラル感もあり後でスパイスも出てくる。
コラージュなし、フィルターなし

Elegante PN volop rijp fruit, mineralen en sigarenkistje. In de smaak herken ik ook rijp fruit en sigarenkistje. Fijne en elegante zuren in de afdronk. Frisse stijl.

Slightly smokey as expected in SA wines. Nicely balanced elegant bright cherry. Tasty summer pinot!
