July 2020

Great colour and concentration with a distinctive purple rim and hue. On the nose - dark fruited, quite intense and complex with aromas of raspberry and dark cherry, pure black currant then layers of brown spices. No mistaking the energy. The minerality message is quite strong with silty crushed rock suggestions. There’s a fine savoury core alongside the fruit with dried herb and whisper of thyme. On the palate - youthful, tense, loaded with energy and vibrato, fruit flavours reflect the nose, a nut and toasty wood layer then medium+ acidity and polished tannin textures. An excellent example, reflective of a great vintage and worthy of your investment.

Attractively aromatic with floral and berry notes that repeat on the palate, and are joined by ripe stems, dried herb and spicy oak flavours. A backbone of peppery tannins suggest obvious cellaring potential but appealing fruit sweetness makes it accessible now.

June 2021 (Vintage 2019)

Generous and juicy wild strawberry, cranberry and spiced cherry flavors start off flashy and mouthwatering, but then settle into a harmonious mix of spicy tobacco, clove and oolong tea, with details of chicory and forest floor that linger on the long, expressive finish.
