Olives, violets, boysenberry, cocoa and warm peppery spices on the nose. Palate is plush but maintains a savoury, spicy edge to it. Very good length and depth here, it has a large fruit profile but finds excellent balance. A winner.
Stemmy and peppery with plenty of herbal notes sitting underneath. Palate is quite herbal as well but it doesn't overwhelm at the moment with the youthful red fruits lending a hand to bring it into decent balance. Not sure I'd want to leave this long term but it strikes some interest early.
Oats, smoke and apple with a lemon tone across the nose. Palate is super energetic, with bright acid and that citrus note continuing to shine through. Very good length. Really struts out of the glass with punch and lift. Lovely.
Lemon, mint and a sea spray aromatic profile. It seems quite taut on the nose but the palate has more richness behind it with fruit wrapping around the edges but lovely acidity to bind it together. Really enjoyed the flavour and charisma of this wine.
