| Description: | 4 ½ Stars 2024 Platter's South African Wine Guide Juicer & more vivacious than Journal sibling, 22 (93 pts) has choc-mocha sheen to ripe red berries, big tannins & alc (14.8% alc) plus similar liquorice & spice from deft oaking, 30% new, for appeal & balance. 92 pts Tim Atkin MW 2023 Diemersdal is best known for its Sauvignon Blanc, but Thys Louw's reds are worth seeking out too. This toasty, intensely perfumed Pinotage is a case in point, showing patisserie and mocha top notes and layers of raspberry, cherry and strawberry jam. 2024-27 91 pts Wine Advocate May 2024 The 2022 Pinotage Reserve, with 14% alcohol, showcases a fuller expression on the nose with emergent earthy undertones, mineral essence and ripe fruit, accented by oak influence and subtle hints of sous-bois and pencil lead. The wine is medium to full-bodied, with a surprising weight that carries a complex aftertaste, revealing its impressive depth. Matured for 14 months in French oak barrels, 40% of which were new, this wine promises to be food friendly for years to come. This Pinotage is poised to evolve beautifully. This is a production of 45,000 bottles. 2023-2034 |
