The colour of this wine is analogous to the purity and depth of flavour in the mouth. Very beautiful indeed, so much so that I can’t think of the right words to capture it.

Fresh, vibrant & elegant fruit. Mostly black cherries & berries gilded with aniseed and black pepper/spice. Really started singing on day two, displaying richness that belied its medium bodied nature, offset by some charming brambly traits. Faultless structure and sensitive winemaking harness what are clearly superior grapes.

A sophisticated, “food style” wine that excited me a great deal. Soft fine tannins with judicious use of French oak adding seamless complexity in texture and flavour. Superb length. Please don’t buy it all. I need time to budget for my order…
