(Hamilton Russell Pinot Noir Estate, Hemel-en-Aarde Valley) Produced from Dijon clone 115, aged 10 months in 1-, 2-, and 3-year-old French oak. Medium ruby in color, with blue-purple tones. The ripe, spicy, floral nose is dominated by bold black- cherry and cranberry fruit. Bright acidity lifts the texture, while earthy spice adds depth. South Africa's Coastal Districts on the Rise

Brick red with light brown edges. Interesting nose with dried floral notes, a little toasted with strawberries. Developed more complexity on day two with smokiness, mesquite wood, sweet spices and a bit of iron. Low tannins (4.5/10) and medium acidity (5.5/10). Very similar to an aged Pinot Noir on the palate with strawberries, rhubarb and lightly floral. Dry with a medium plus length finish. Smoother and more open on day two. Drink now.

Pop 'n pour, consumed over 2 hours. Initially funky nose but blew off quickly. Interesting nose - kind of a cross between candied new world and Burgundian. On the palate, silky and soft with earthy, adolescent Pinot flavors through the mid-palate to the finish. Fairly light and not really opening up after vigorous swirling with 1+ hours in the glass. I'd say this is in a slightly awkward stage at this time, though was still very interesting and enjoyable. Suggest holding another 2-3 years at least.

End of Project Supper 4 (Le Trader, Harris Street, Pyrmont): a bit out of whack. ripe fruit but also green notes and obvious oak - vanilla.
