Pop and pour: Quite reductive upfront but blew off quickly. Very distinctive hawthorn, red bramble fruits nose and palate. Lovely minerality and acidity that yet very understated. Flavours very persistent and great silky finish.
Keeping very well, drink on 2nd and 3rd day revealed even denser core of sweet red bramble fruits and a whiff of chocolate on nose. On palate the wine is weightless and full of flavors, suave tannins. Very well balanced overall. Great stuff!
Easily 92+ points in my view for this. Will keep well.

It was drinking nicely with plenty of punch and lift from the wine’s volatility. It had notes of smoke, cranberry, pomegranate and rose petals. There’s tartness in the mouth and real crunch to the finish.

Nose with hints of smoke, sour cherries and earth. Elegant texture, a surprising acidity, red berries on the palate, a bit of leather. Very nice.
