(2022) From the highly experienced Tony Bish, this is fermented in three-year-old French oak barriques, around 30% new, and did go through full malolactic. A delightfully creamy, buttery Brazil nut nose of mellow oak, nutty tones to the fruit beneath too. On the palate there's an intensity that's immediate, but a certain savoury reserve too. Fruit is juicy, ripe apricot and peach, but the citrus core of acidity and nuances of flint and saline create an unwavering core through to the finish. Very nicely balanced. Price and stockist for previous vintage at time of review.
