Deliberately held back a couple of years to see if there was any further development....and the answer is no - still, as good as I remember. 90 minute decant. Translucent red. Vibrant, juicy cherry fruit with a hint of spice and invigorating acidity. Concentration of flavour in a light framework. Really good if just a little too one dimensional to hit the 90+ excellent mark. Unusual and worth hunting out - but a more recent vintage I would suggest. Clearly for drinking youngish; this particular vintage over the next year. My last.

Pretty, bright and pleasurable, but substantial. Ripe lifted cherry fruit. Soft tannins. I'll plan to drink my last in the next year to enjoy the ebullient fruit

Truly beautiful aromatics, expressive maraschino cherries and currants. Last time slightly tart and lean on its own, this time a few variations of homemade pizza makes it the perfect companion, freshness and acidity being the most important factor here. Love it, love it, love it!
