Tasting notes
Partly his own vines since 2012, partly managed. 100% new oak. Barrel sample – already racked from barrel to barrel. Sweet, ripe, dark but fresh fruit with a hint of oak. No overripeness just generously ripe. Complexed by a hint of flowers and spices. Just a little savoury. Juicy and much more tangy and fresh than I expected on the palate, quite a contrast with the nose. Lovely fresh tension on the finish. Firm but beautifully smooth tannins. (JH)
