2013 Crystallum "Peter Max" Pinot Noir Hemel-en-Aarde Walker Bay

The 2013 Peter Max Pinot Noir comes from three vineyards including a new vineyard ‰ÛÏMabalel‰۝ and is matured in 10% new oak. It has a generous, quite fleshy nose with red plum, mulberry and wilted rose petal aromas that show great detail. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, crisp acidity, with an almost Beaujolais-like exuberance and joie-de-vivre (implied in a positive sense ‰ÛÒ think fine Moulin-ÌÊ-Vent.) This is one to check out. (NM)
