Graham Beck never disappoints, this 2017 was drinking nicely. Already showing some more developed notes; caramel, bruised apple, umami notes beginning to develop.
Drinking lovely.

90 for now. Only disgorged in July 2021. Needs time to mellow out. From GB's insane value vintage range, under £20.
N: Very rich, biscuits, warm butter pastry green apple pie, undercut of zippy citric or apple twang.
P: Fresh attack of green apple flesh, spiky fizz, red apple skin, electric, tart pear. Gives way to broader cooked apple, brittle butter pastry, candied apple, savoury butter and subtle cinnamon. Taught and grippy, for now.
F: Full on rich brioche, green apple skin, a little short.
