Michael just sent me his latest wine review, which covers a Pinot Noir by Two Oceans.
Tasted this wine in June for my upcoming book The People’s Guide.
Amazed at the wine itself and the incredible value – selling at around R28 a bottle.
No Pinot Noirs are available at that sort of price, so I am hoping it is
going to introduce a whole raft of new people to the wonders of Pinot Noir.
For me it is a wine of the heart. Lovely whiffs of blackcurrant and
cherries on the nose. Delicate mulberries, red cherries and oak spice
flavours in a medium weight mouthful.
Chill it as a glass on its own, but it will do well with red meats, chicken
and tuna.
Thanks Michael Olivier for doing another fantastic wine review!
Previous Reviews:
The Two Oceans Pinot (2009) vintage does not agree with my palate. Strong red fruit overtones and over-oaked from freshly charred barrels hide any detail of the variety. I give it 70 points and a definite pass.
Hi Jasper, what wines do you drink? Got anything to recommend?
