(2024) From a single vineyard planted at 800 to 900 feet, the black fruit and peppery spice component is striking. Blackcurrant and blueberry are streaked with cedar and an edge of leafiness. At the same time there is a touch of dark caramel or chocolate in the background. The palate is stunning, with so much supple, fleshy sweetness, a velvet mouthfeel with so much spice and hints of meatiness and something of herbs and truffle in the background. Long, meaty and rich, but with such a focus between creamy tannins and precise acidity. A special arrangement sees a parcel of this limited edition, normally allocated wine exclusively for the UK market. No retail stockists listed.
