SF | Touch of evolution at the rim, but bright and pure. An attractive noe of plum hearthside, thyme and raspberry. The aromatic is dappled across the palate; smoky, rich and subtle; in a minor key as far as anything can be in such warm year, the diurnals in these arboreal vineyards clearly contributing to the authenticity of the structure and the pleasing grip of acidity. lack the concentration of the senior wine ( not yet tasted but I dare to presume); nicely judged, with a soft resonant herbal kick at the back. 92
AJ | Dark black red. Ample graceful charm here: the perfect second-wine overture. The forest is softly expressed; the fruits tender and inviting; all very settled yet fresh and vivacious. Smooth, lively, graceful: lovely lifted and sustained fruits, and it is the fruits which spin the story here. Poised and concentrated, cool yet teased to perfect ripeness. Acids do more structuring work than tannins here, yet they are admirably fruit-bonded.Drink Dates: 2026 - 2034.
