Pegasus Bay Pinot Noir 2021

Sophia Laurent — Really impressed with this one

9/10

Bought this for my wife's birthday dinner and it went down a treat. Really smooth with a nice warmth to it, and the smell once it opened up was gorgeous — proper cherry and earthy stuff. At nearly forty quid it's not an everyday bottle but for a special occasion it's spot on.

Felix Moreau — Lovely with lamb

8/10

Picked this up after seeing it on a list somewhere online. Took about twenty minutes to really open up but once it did the aromas were amazing. Paired it with some lamb chops and it was a great match. Not the kind of wine that lingers forever on the finish but honestly that just made me want to keep drinking it.

Benjamin Ross — Good but not cheap

7/10

Had this at a friend's house and thought it was solid. Nice balance, not too heavy despite being 14%, and it kept getting better as we drank it. Would I pay £39 for it myself though? Probably not when there are decent Pinots for half that. Still, no complaints.
