Enjoyed this Reserve Pinot over two nights, deep garnet colour and aromatic nose, intense and interesting flavours on palate with well integrated tannins.
A nice Pinot from Walker Bay area and will develop further. — 5 months ago

This wine is now starting to hit its stride and show some nice secondary flavours. Beautiful texture and very refined. Very Burgundian in style. Think Vosne. Love it. — 7 years ago

16.5/20 (90/100) Узнаваемый, свежий совиньон: крыжовник, белая смородина, лимоны. Довольно высокая кислотность, кремовая текстура (есть добавка семильона 8%). Неплохо. #capewine2018 — 8 years ago

17+/20 (92+/100) Аромат чернослива, черешни, шоколада и легкой нотой кожи. Тельное с высокой кислотностью и молодыми, но не грубыми танинами. Отлично! #capewine2018 — 8 years ago

Very NZ SB like nose of exotic tropical fruits, lime, and fresh cut grass. One of the most richly textured SB I’ve tasted on the palate, complemented by vibrant and fresh acidity.
Really good. — 4 years ago

Very good Pinot true to style
Good bright berry colour, nice nose and palate of berries and good balance of acidity length and aftertaste
Not as good as Reserve offering but excellent value for money
Really enjoying SAF wines during COVID-19 — 6 years 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.

16.5/20 Аромат малины, вишни, хлебной корочки и легким оттенком кофе. Легкое тело, высокая кислотность довольно интенсивные, но гладкие по текстуре танины. Ягодно-кофейное во вкусе. Приятное и легкое, но не легкомысленное вино. #capewine2018 — 8 years ago
