    June 17, 2023 - A complete Grenache, balanced long finish

    January 2, 2022 - In the decanter 3 hrs prior to drinking. Dried red fruits, strawberries, cherry and pomegranate, with a confectionery edge to it. Little bit of floral and dustiness going on here too. Tannins are fine and not overly grippy, unlike previous vintages. Drink to 2025.

    August 16, 2021 - The first sniff is striking, all violets and raspberries. The palate is red fruits, lacy and sensual, but underpinned by chalky structure. It is beautifully balanced and proportioned and so delicious now, but also built for the future.
