Fresh and delicious, this is a pure quaffing-style RdM. It was great with my pizza tonight. Buckets of ripe strawberries and cherries on the nose, with a mid-toned floral note and lots of fragrant cracked stones. Brambly slightly bitter-edged cherry fruit in the mouth, with just a scoche of tannin. Acids are soft but adequate. A fun pizza wine!

Vintage 2010 / My first Red in 2020. Beautiful ripened. Elegance and a velvety structure. Happy New Year 🌞 / Paired with ratatouille and a veal schnitzel

Black cherry, blackberry. Firm tannins. Tar, slight wood, some rose. Easy drinking with defined tannins.

Vintage 2010 - brown rim, medium deep colour. Lively smell with some spicyness and a hint vanilla. Prominent acidity and easy drinking. Solid!

These ladies make good wine, this is a good rosso. Their prima-donna is top notch and one day these future stars will be in that juice.

Rich, more ripe style, firm tannins but plenty of juicy red fruit to handle them

Smoke on the nose. Licorice. Nice spice. Light tannin. Beautiful finish.
