Popcorn, spice, lemon and lime with peach also part of the aroma profile. Fantastic on the palate, there is some richness but the overall feeling is of poise and great balance. Excellent at the moment and should hopefully continue forward.

Stalk, cherry, earth, blood and raspberry - quite expressive at the moment. Good body, with persistence and good background tannins supporting. It all sits nicely together and is drinking well.

Really pretty nose - violet, spice, graphite and cherry. Nicely balanced palate, there is depth to the fruit and while it is quite full weighted there is a pure element to the fruit that keeps it vibrant. Good acidity. Will be lovely over the medium-long term.

Blackcurrant, graphite, cherry and garrigue. Nicely textured, plenty of savoury notes, I really like the restrained fruit profile. Tannins are starting to resolve out. Excellent now and over the next 5-6 years.
