Really good purity of perfectly ripe fruit, oak well and truly in the background. So pleasantly structured and balanced it's good going now or in the cellar

I didn't recall this being so savoury and gamey. Notes of raspberry, black olive, chorizo, violets, mulberry and wet asphalt. Tannins are almost forceful but give way to juicy acidity and delicate fruit. Great finish on this too

Plum but not jammy, ripe but not sweet. Dark fruited and oak settling in nicely
