Radford Dale Freedom Pinot Noir 2015
By Christian Eedes, 8 November 2016
The Winery of Good Hope currently has two examples of Elgin Pinot Noir under the Radford Dale label, tasting notes and ratings as follows.
Radford Dale Freedom Pinot Noir 2015
Wine Cellar price: R310
11 months in French oak, 10% new. A wonderfully complex nose with a hint of reduction, some musky fragrance, red and black fruit, charcuterie and subtle vanilla. Lovely weight on the palate, tangy acidity and smooth tannins. Rich and full but well balanced – seductive in a word.
#WinemagRating: 92/100.
Radford Dale AD Pinot Noir 2015
Wine Cellar price: R400
Only made in the best vintages, production was single second-fill 228-litre barrel. On the nose, red and black cherry, some fynbos, white pepper and spice. The palate is leaner and fresher than its counterpart above – not as layered but more crystalline.
#WinemagRating: 91/100.
