Wine Spectator
With its elegant, aromatic nose, enhanced by pretty spices associated with ageing, a fresh, juicy, airy palate and a liquorice finish, this modern Pinotage definitely underlines its kinship with Pinot Noir. An airy, very pleasant cuvée! Packaged in screw cap.

Note and review by M. THIERRY OU CHANTAL V. Published on 24/04/2017
The color is pale, perfectly limpid and brilliant, between ruby and garnet. The nose is marked, with a slight smoky note behind the red fruit, and some empyreumatic notes. The palate is rather fat, but delicate and round. The finish is just right for this type of wine. Drunk with an eclectic friend like me, during an impromptu aperitif (and to discuss a professional project), with a few small things to nibble on, this wine gave us a good time with friends. Priced at 8.50 euros on the 1jour1vin website, it's fun and worth a try. For this type of moment, I liked it! 86% pinotage, 14 syrah.

Not an airy wine at all, but rather very roasted: tar, brown tobacco and cola flavors. Very surprising, to be tasted with experienced people.

Interesting Pinot nose with roasted aromas. Full-bodied on the palate, with Syrah giving it its "sunny" character. The ageing is slightly marked by the barrel, but the fruit is very present. All in all, an original wine to share with friends, with good value for money.
