Bottled today. Great aromatics with a floral nuance. Lots of intensity on the mid palate with explosive red and black fruit and a great streak of acidity. Fresh with great density, but far from being over the top. Precision and balance delivering solid structure with a long generous finish. Delicious and satisfying. Looking forward to seeing how this wine evolves with time.

One of the best GS blends tasted from 2020 so far; also one of the best wines I’ve tasted from this winemaker. Drink or hold
