SF | Reduction evidence on the nose, disinclined to dissipate. Juniper, and fig... geranium almost, the floral tribute not quite undermining the incipient hardness, and a lack of coherence. 86
DW | There's a slightly Syrah-ish cast to the spice and slightly reductive nose here, as well as the feeling of ferrous/bloody minerals coursing through the palate. Very supple and vibrant and with a floral prettiness emerging unexpectedly and lingeringly - intriguing, energetic, distinctive and rather charming.Drink Dates: 2024 - 2032. 93
AR | Medium ruby in colour, this is starting to evolve with notes of berry and pepper in its aromatic profile, it's very pleasantly juicy-textured and ripe with red berry fruit in flavour and very digestible tannins supported by a crisp northern European freshness, which brings balance and enjoyment to a wine, which because of a certain dryness on the finish, clearly needs food.Drink Dates: 2024 - 2027. 91
