Mabalel Overberg Pinot Noir

Two years since last tried this fabulous wine
Clear ruby colour with floral flowers and violets on nose, Has matured nicely and at 8yrs is drinking beautifully
Great finish and balanced wine

Such a beautiful expression of Pinot from this acclaimed area
Perfumed violets on the nose mixture of nuanced floral flavours on palate with lingering aftertaste

These guys have been producing some great wines from 🇿🇦 so I was quite keen to pop their top cuvee of a batch of 3,578 bottles @ £36 & for the money it’s fab value 👍

16.5/20 (91/100) Мощный вариант пино нуара из линейки Crysrallum, 10% вина из купажа проходила ферментацию с гребнями. Аромат черешни, фиников, инжира и хлебной корочки. Довольно тельное с высокой кислотностью. Очень хорошо! #capewine2018

Sjukt aromatisk. Sötfruktig, bär, sötlakrits, blyerts. Lite för mkt varm Pinot för min smak.
