AJ | Dark and dense. Bustling fruits, though more energy than purity. Nonetheless with time in the glass it finds a little shape and charm. Smooth and light in texture, but with the vintage's intense curranty drive. Appetising mid-term claret of some classicism.Drink Dates: 2024 - 2029. 86
MS | Minerally nose, with a touch of a noble herbal character, its fruit muted at present; medium full, fresh, fine in slightly dry-edged tannin; a freshly ripe, lightly blackcurrant flavour, gently sappy, modest in scope but with nice length. Good lesser claret, drinkable already, matter and some finesse, if the tannins, typically for the property, a touch dry. Drink Dates: 2024 - 2030+. 88
