  Tasting new samples back in the UK
  
  Ripe, deep red/dark nose - very good lift. Notes of raspberry and a spicy floral quality.
  
  Lovely sweetness on the attack, feels pretty together (not tight), lots of richness but clean and fresh. Definite cork of black cherry and almond - nice defintion but less expressive than a month ago at the property.
  Easy-going tannins - barely even thought to write about them! Will drink very well young but has some fine underlying structure. Very pretty, lots of charm.

  Dynamic feel to the nose (chalky frame?) good focus, a speckled and chalky fragrance, notes of dark flowers, blue/black fruit… pretty and expressive, elderberry too. Great freshness (and some menthol vapour).
  
  The palate is intense and notably concentrated (wow) – amazing freshness and purity, tantalising acidity and sweetness. Superb lift, clean and fresh, very well-defined. Juicy, lovely tannins. I love this!
