18 Sep, 2024 – Perfumed and floral aromas, then impressively deep on the palate. A really delicious wine that’s also structured and well suited for further aging. A full body and fine-grained tannins give plenty of texture without a lot of weight, as dried blueberries, blackcurrants and graphite notes play out and expand with each sip. Drinkable now, but best from 2029.
