Drinking well now but will clearly open out and develop in time. Lovely soft raspberries and great length and backbone. — 5 months ago
Lemon lagoon biscuit monster broke the pack with a thin layer of lemon marmalade, a twist of lemon peel to tease the nose. Generous melon and merengue, apple tart, pineapple sorbet, lime, lime pith and sour orange. This is depth! I won’t insult with adgective over-indulgence: powerful.

Very big dried cherries with mint on the nose, not unlike an aged alto Piemonte, but simplified. Dried cranberry, raspberry sorbet too. The fruit comes alive with some air. High acid, could live longer and still be of interest. There’s roasted poblano in there. The tannins are very soft now, like a merlot, but the finish has some light fine grip. Some kind of earth, nothing lush here. Spice on the finish too. $21 — 5 years ago
