hamilton russel pinot noir 2007 [hemel-en-aarde valley]

ruby (pale); cherry nose, slightly funky ... hint of damp earth and game, bit of oak there; aforesaid cherry ... dark and nicely ripe, a little beet?; fine grippy tannins; juicy acid; medium bodied; long; great mouthfeel ...; quite elegant but with meat on the bones; doesn't sound like much but it's a really really good package, BANG!
