Quite funky on opening. Not flawed, just 'natural'. Did mellow into like a bubble gum, cherry cola kind of wine. I felt like the wine was fighting with itself because it wants to be this refreshing, natural style pure red fruit burgundy, but it's actually quite heavy. It drank like an OK Morgon worth like £15. This bottle for me is not worth the hype or the price.

Definitely nice but quite difficult to assess because it was too cold and I think I should have decanted this. I did get some stone fruit, grapefruit, texture is big and oily. Decant this next time.

This is in a great place. Waxy and quite full and round despite being low in alcohol. Fruit driven, with a bit of smoke, this ticks all the right boxes for a glass of meditation Riesling. Slight hint of petrol, plenty of limey fruit - this is not one of those super stony, slate dominant Rieslings, it's more a rounded fruity style. I think it will sit at this happy level for another 5 years easy.
