Snappy, fruity, gamey and ready to drink... Aperitif and simple light canapés. Don't get too serious about this bottle.

A beauty! Earthy, meaty goodness. Great with some air now or cellar for a while.

Pop and pour. This has aged so gracefully. On the nose: blackberry, camphor, soft herbs and earth, a whiff of incense. On the palate: lovely acidity, soft ash, blackberry, dried raspberry, and some soft but rustically styled tannin on the finish. Far and away my best bottle so far and in a fantastic place, but still plenty of upside!
