I typically very much like this property’s chewy, rustic expression but the 2012 just didn’t have quite enough stuffing to balance the grainy toast and gritty tannins. Worked with steak, needed something to grip on to. I don’t see this vintage evolving in a positive manner, drink up...

Deep and intense colour with a nose of bramble, cassis and toasty oak. The palate is rounded, medium bodied and with a really nice concentration. Tannins are ripe and very well integrated
