(2024) An absolutely delicious and relatively 'hedonistic' style here, the oak influence up-front with toast and creaminess, nutty and rich aromas over ripe stone fruits. Sometimes a wine like this just absolutely hits the spot, whilst edged with a little flinty smokiness, it's really about the abundant ripe fruit that floods the mid-palate, bolstered by that creamy and toasty, spicy oak. Is that all too much? Well not when the whole composition is harmonius thanks to its core of acidity and not so obvious subtleties of flavour and aroma.
