SH | A little heavy with sweet oak and toast aromas, a little broad on the palate and simple lacks some cohesion and harmony on the palate. a little sweet fruit and jammy notes, the tannins feel a little brutal and green.Drink Dates: 2025 - 2032. 87
AJ | Very light, crystalline and translucent, barely deeper than rose-red Warm, clean, delicately fruited: light redcurrant and pomegranate, with an infusion of thyme. It grows a little grassier and more stringier with time in the glass, though, rather than amplifying the fruit core: perhaps a worrying sign Intense and vivid and drivingly acidic, without the palate wealth and resonance to carry the acidity. A slender wine, finally, which I don't see improving much in the future. (Odd at 14% ...)Drink Dates: 2025 - 2031. 84
MP | Very obvious nose showcasing vegetal notes of cooked veg, liquorice and cooked black fruit including cherry and plum. The palate has some spicy complexity but the vegetal notes from this difficult vintage seem to occlude the fruit. There's a fine layer of tannins and bright acidity but this lacks concentration on the finish.Drink Dates: 2027 - 2032. 91
