Micu Narunsky Stellenbosch Pinot Noir 2008 86+ Points


Clear, bright cherry red with mahogany / russet rim, medium plus concentration, medium plus viscosity, no gas but very fine sediment and tartaric crystal evident (end of bottle!)

Clean, medium plus intensity, delicately ripe cherries, red berry medley, earthy, very subtle oaking.

Complex and layered, notes of dark mushrooms, fine vinosity, intringuing and very charming, evolving very well since last tasted in autumn 2009.

Dry with medium plus acidity, fine palate restraint, unshowy, well complimented by maturity development, cherry, earthy note follows through, very Burgundian (AOP Village) both aromatically and texture wise, fine respect of Pinot fruit and texture.

Delicate elegant profile, persistent, very much a terroir driven wine, lingering.

What was impressive was the fact the wine was opened for 5 days and tasted a portion every day, yet there was no sign of oxidation!! it just got better and better over the days.

A must try by all means, please contact Micu Narunsky, who also also make the wines for Anatu.
