Off the charts. In so many ways. It’s rare to explore such densely packed fruit in wine, and when you do, it’s usually associated with jammy notes and way too much oak. This is this the opposite. Freshness and pronounced minerality lead the dark fruit flavours forward while serious tannins wrap things up, supported by great, interwoven acidity and framed by licorice tainted oak treatment. Best from 2022, but drinks amazing already given 4-5 hours of air.

Hugely concentrated, inky and youthful, this infant highlights violets, cassis, blackberries, dark chocolate and toasty oak. Long and rich on the palate, with impressive tannins and great drive. Best from 2017. 97 p.

Almost mature, sleek yet concentrated where sweet tannins and juicy acidity frames red and dark berries, spicy minerality and integrated barrel-vanilla additions. Quite impressive.
