Score 17/20 · Drink 2021-2030, Richard Hemming MW, jancisrobinson.com, Oct 2019
Aged for eight months in old oak. Cask sample. Tasted blind. Very fragrant nose: potpourri, rose petal, kirsch. Gently furry tannins, ripe black fruit, glossy texture. With time, the length and complexity on the palate should match that of the nose. (RH)
