2006 Hoopenburg Pinot Noir 76 Points
Bright, vivid cherry red, sweet boiled beetroot, touch of earthy character and hints of wild mushroom, alcohol slightly disturbing and burning (14.5 alc/vol).
Palate texture shows green cherry tartness, lacking fleshy fruit and elegance of good Pinot, definitely over acidified, uncomplex, acid dominate and sulphur burn.
