Rating: 3.0/5
This 2023 Freedom Pinot Noir from Radford Dale estate in South Africa appears with a medium colour intensity and ruby hue, showing signs of full development. On the nose, it unfolds with a mix of red fruit and subtle earthy notes, hinting at complexity to come. In the palate, a balanced blend of medium body and acidity, fine-grained tannin, and medium alcohol weight support flavours of red cherry and subtle spice, with a dry finish.
