Drunk with pigeon. Nose: fruity, rather rich and refined. Taste: pinot-noir fruit with a rather prominent acidity and a kind of typical South-african solidity. More fresh, vivid and solid than a Burgundy with – besides the acidity - surprisingly evoking flavours. Therefore it can be drunk well in contrast with more subdued flavours of food. 88-89.

Tasting in South Africa; 9/14/2011-9/15/2011: A ripe-but-not-too ripe, warm-climate Pinot, that’s unfortunately lacking in varietal focus. Smokiness. Dark, dark cheery. Raspberry. Nice savory notes.

Easy to drink. Feels young but not overly. Nice smokiness. Great pinot for the price.

A private lunch (Restaurant Nuance**, Duffel, Belgium): Wonderfully fresh, aromatic, spicy oak, sweet ripe fruit on a firm basis, vanilla and cream, well-judged oak, nice tannic grip, good length.
