Deeper colour ruby still with garnet rim . Quite floral nose , more fresh fruits , mix of red and dark . On the palate more dense , slightly riper but still fresh , darker fruit , quite wild and detailed . Well balanced acidity , quite gritty tannin , fills out well on the palate . Good length , drinking well now but will age longer over the next 8-10 years . — 3 days ago
The Mommessin monster. I tend to only like this wine in “lighter” vintages where the heavy handed style gets balanced out. But 2018 shows impressive freshness, vibrancy and minerality to combat the warmth of 2018 wonderfully. But of course so so young. — a month ago
Although this was a bit early to open it was a tremendous wine. Bold citrus and lingering fruit mixed with light grip and oily length. This was a complete joy and was a capable pairing with multiple risotto courses. Heaven! — 22 days ago

Impressive depth showing through despite being slightly closed down at the moment. Black tea, spice, cherries, hint of earth and floral notes. Tightly wound and layered. Lay it down for a while… — 23 days ago
