Smells like dirt, bugs, and carbonic maceration. Plenty of bret. Bright, crisp acidity with a juicy palate of red fruits and more earth. Despite hail being a major issue in 2016 there’s better balance here at 12.5% than the ‘15 at 14.5%

Much better nose than the Billards. Pure deep fruit, juicy and tangy palate, a bit of heat. Heady fruit. Juicy. Not bad. Not great.

Overtly fruity, even tasted a little hot, should settle in more as its a 2015 youngster. If it integrates better this should get a few more points.
