AJ | Dark black red, and very nearly opaque still. The oak seems to be supporting the fruit somewhat here, the fruit being cool, fresh and recessive -- but the overall harmony is good and the effect is appetising and inviting. An energetic pulse of primary fruit here which, while fresh, has nothing too edge, slender or chill to disconcert. Drink soon and enjoy. Drink Dates: 2026 - 2030. 86
SF | Inky ruby, saturated. A nose of wood shavings, peat and a whisper of incense. The palate recalls soy and mature loganberry; there s something a little sour challenging the structure and the finish is abrupt. Drink Dates: 2027 - 2031. 87
