2020 vintage, only 375 bottles (!)
Darker & more brooding & more closed than 2019, a bit more brambly.
Needs quite a bit to open up.
Very northern Syrah in style, St Joseph or Hermitage. The purity is still absolutely stunning - both on the nose & palate. Black fruit & black cherries with a mineral backbone underneath. Great depth and such character. Wow! This is absolutely brilliant!
My fav non-traditionalist Rioja.
