AJ | Dark black red and just off opacity at this stage. Clean, light, fragrant and articulate already: a welcoming, classic-Graves nose of tobacco and earth,with the fruit a part of the picture rather than in primary prominence. On the palate, this tastes fully ready to me: vivid and fresh, soft and digestible, appetising too. Tasty fresh tender Graves for drinking tonight. Drink Dates: 2025 - 2030. 87
SF | Deep ruby with a hint of pink at the rim. Gentle aromatic of forest floor, clove and crushed raspberry. Medium concentration. Red fruit dominates the palate, coated by slightly drying tannins and balustraded by a firm line of acidity. Modest of aspiration, but not without success. Drink Dates: 2026 - 2029. 89
