On very fine form. Rich and smoky nose, bursting with zesty energy, hint of wax; ripe palate, concentration buffered by vibrant acidity, excellent tension and balance, peach and grapefruit, energetic bitters; very good length on the finish but could do with a little more definition. Excellent.
Starting to show some waxy maturity on the nose, buffered by vibrant Riesling grape skins; marvellous acidity and tension on the palate, gentle grapefruit bitters, peaches and seal wax; incisive granny smith finish with excellent length. Long life.
Deep and rich colour; impressive and well defined nose, smoky (but not sweet) oak (20% new), menthol, liquorous sour black cherries, floral lift (30% stems), deep sandy minerality; real power and drive on the palate, firm and concentrated, tightly coiled, black cherries and spices, peach and strawberry and citrus lift, deep cool minerality; tight and long finish needs time to unfold. Precise and focused. Good future. Top marks.
