Drank over 2 days. No change between days 1 and 2. Intense green apple, lemon and lime. Objectively excellent and great with umami flavoured food. My personal preference is for the weightier / richer offerings from Alheit such as Cartology (which is also helpful to my bank balance) or the single vineyard Huilkrans.

It might say "grand cru" on the label, but this is a solid yet pretty dull Pinot. Cellaring potential? Drink now or sure, leave it for 5 years, but I'm not optimistic that you will gain anything. My advice is to drink this when you are not expecting that magical feeling.

Nebbiolo-like in its ripe dark cherry fruit and fine grained tannins. Went nicely with pasta all'amatriciana and a 90 minute decant. Drink or hold.
