Hamilton Russell Hamilton Russell Pinot Noir 2013 Dry 2013, Hemel-En-Aarde Valley, Walker Bay W.O., South Africa: Lavish fleshy ripe cherry aromas and flavours yet not simple or sweet. Complex, elegant and layered. Some dark spice on the finish. Silk texture. Chapter three of my second book (Unquenchable) includes a visit to this winery and dinner with the brilliant Anthony Hamilton Russell. Drink: 2015-2023. 999516 13.50% D 750 mL $57.95 Score: 95/100.
