(2024) Pouring as black as pitch, 15% of the final blend was whole-bunch fermented and the wine aged 14 months in barriques and larger barrels, with very little new wood. The floral lift is unmissable on the nose, with lirsch like and violet notes mingling with cracked peppercorn and a gentle gaminess. In the mouth it is slick and fruit-filled, a dark juiciness of ripe plums and berries. There's reall freshness here, not just from the well-judged cherry-skin tang of the acidity, but from a crunchy tannin framework the blends with the savoury fruit notes of the long finish.
