One of the best Pinotages I drank. The glass was perfumed with fresh truffle before the wine was poured. Remarkable experience jn the La Colombe wine cellar. @Kay Delectable this is the coastal pinotage — 9 months ago
Nose has lightly toasted brioche, recently washed lemon, lemon pith, dry limestone, pineapple core and yellow apple peel.
Palate has lime pith, squeeze of lemon juice, slight waxy notes, pulverized limestone and lingering ripe tropical fruits.
Medium finish, feeling like the concentration is coming up short, still enjoyable. 90m decant, we'll see how it evolves over the evening.
(Soured 100% from Meursault, seven separate vineyard plots.)
*R.I.P. Ellis Marsalis, "Bucky" Pizzarelli, Manu Dibango, Bill Withers, Kenny Rogers and Joseph Shabalala. It's been a tough few weeks of losses in the music business. Stay Safe out there everyone. — 4 years ago
