Storm Vrede Pinot Noir 2020

Now into its tenth vintage – where did the last decade go? – this is a brilliant Pinot Noir that builds complexity in the glass. Opulent, spicy and perfumed, with rose petal and violet aromas, fine acidity, considerable underlying grip, savoury tannins and ageing potential and subtle 25% new oak. Drink date: 2022-2029. Score – 96. (timatkin.com, South Africa Special Report 2021)
