Sensational. Bright fruit on the front and then delicate, yet complementary to food, lingering smooth finish. Strawberry, cherry, and a hint of freshly chopped herbs. — 2 months ago

I did not get to write notes on the last three wines, just scores. We had to get to Russell Hamilton.

However, I wish I had been able to write them as these were the wines I was looking forward to spending some time on.

Peter & Andrew Allan of Crystallum are the third generation of winemakers and sons of the man who pioneered Pinot Noir winemaking in the Hemel-en-Aarde which; is what drew me to the region that is about another hour plus SE of Stellenbosch and a very good area to produce Pinot Noir.

Absolutely fabulous is this 8 yr old Pinot.
This bottle is no. 1150 of 2353.
Mature with brick hue and nose of mature brambles, sometimes you just know you have your hands on something special and you know it won’t be repeated any time soon
So nice — 5 months ago

Delicious SA chardonnay. Almost like the baby of a fatty Meursault and a more structured and mineral Burgundy white (Chablis). Oak, flint, juicy apple, lemon and a beautiful, lingering acidity. — 6 years ago
