Still incredibly young. Still ruby in colour, and mostly primary and secondary characteristics. Ripe black cherry, earthy, a touch of dried fruit, nutmeg, toast. Wonderful poise and balance, fine chalky tannins, cherry, plum, toast. Everything is in its right place. Ripe fruit, integrated oak, some development. Stunning how young this is. Plenty of depth and structure to improve over the next 5 years. Outstanding

Deep amber. Complex, intriguing nose, caramel, hazelnut, orange peel, raisin, brine, saucisson. Palate is lively, blast of apple, brine, followed by a long (very) nutty, finish. Orange, toast, almond. So much life and energy. You can still sense the Manzanilla in there, but with layers of oxidative flavours. Outstanding

Golden straw appearance. Nose of sweet peach, apricot, honey, some VA but not at the expense of fruit. A smokey, mineral streak. Medium acid, some gentle tannic grip, apple, peach. Very textural. Long. Tremendous balance and personality. Drinking very well now. Could age another few years, but best with the freshness it has now. Outstanding
