SF | Slightly miasmic hue, and a surly , almost emetic aromatic. The palate is lean, oddly meaty and vegetal a the same time. The acidity runs amok through the hollow structure, a dervish in a Rawlinson cartoon., 86
AJ | Translucent dark red Settled and aromatic now: harmonious and mellow, with attractive aromas of dry grass, warm grain and red fruit compote. Smooth, now, and harmonious, acid-dominated; fully ready. Get it while the fruit can still tell its story.Drink Dates: 2024 - 2028. 88
RM | Mid deep in hue, broad and browning on the rim; open, savoury-leathery but falling away on the nose; firm, yet supple and leathery in style retaining a streak of freshness with savoury tannins leading to a rather dry finish. Quite elegant and fully mature.Drink Dates: 2024 - 2029. 89
