  The same impressions as in my earlier 2022 tasting notes. Elegant, relatively high acid and somewhat pinot-like. No immediate hurry needed to drink but for drinking over the next few years

  Similar notes to my recent 2022 tasting note. Raspberry, tart red cherry and some cranberry. Mineral with bright acidity. A good food wine. Drink out to 2028 - 2030 but probably drinking at about its best now.

  Pale bright ruby. A breezy bouquet of raspberries, redcurrants, suggestions of cranberries, river gravel, dried herbs and spices. In the mouth, racy, vibrant acidity. Raspberry, cranberry, tart red cherry, dried herbs and a touch of spicy plums. Chalk and slate at its core. Some chewy, grippy tannins, yet to completely resolve. A little below mid weight but with sufficient fruit concentration, volume and structure. Moderate alcohol (14% ABV). A food wine. However, a little linear, lacking the additional flavour complexity for a higher score. Drinking at its prime - I believe it won't improve from here - but no signs it is falling over. Drink by about 2027.

  A tart and taut wine that requires food

  Aromas of red berries, but dominated by sweet oak. Juicy, with more power and structure than the Sottana.
