Tasting notes
Cask sample. Quite primary brambly fruit on the palate. Bit closed on the nose and a little reticent at the moment. Lots of structure here. Less overt 2022 ripe fruit than many but that will flesh out in time. Needs 2–3 years. (AWH)

(from a ~.55 ha holding). One again there is enough reduction to knock down the nose at present. Reduction flattens the nose though there is a lovely sense of underlying tension to the equally mineralsuffused middleweight flavors that terminate in a compact, youthfully austere and lingering finish that displays only a trace of backend rusticity. This is also quite good.
