Defied expectations. Bursting with fresh fruit at 20+ years. Incredible structure. — 9 months ago
This wine is outstanding. So soft and slight, but full of delicate nuance and depth. On the nose there’s that lovely petrol or rubber note that opens you up to the sweetness of the wine, but when you taste the attack is so gentle and the acidity so perfectly balances the rounder fruit notes that you end up with this magically cleansing lively mouthfeel. Ideal for Asian cuisine. This wine is perfect for adventurous curious drinkers to bring to their friends who swear they only like Sauv. Blanc. Dry and crisp enough that they’ll like it, but different enough that they’ll experience something new. — 5 years ago
A powerful Syrah in its youth, the Winds of Change 2023 (released March ‘25) opens with a dusty nose full of minerals, rose and kirsch. On the palate, its drying tannins are at the forefront now, adding to the dusty feel, but there is a nice peppery bite, dark cherries and tar. It felt a bit reserved and perhaps a few more years in bottle will mellow the tannins and let the rest shine. — 2 months ago

Strawberry again, rhubarb, musty attic in a good way — 5 years ago
Loved this for an afternoon of Greek, Portuguese and Eastern Mediterranean apps. It’s almost orange, with strawberries grounded by loads of minerals & salinity. Reminds me of the wines grown on the volcanic soil on Santorini. I gather the growing is similar, low to the ground to protect the vines from sea winds. — 4 years ago
