Disappointing after all the praise around for how great value it is. It lacks acidity and the simple flavours are muted.

Perfumy nose of violets, red pepper, raspberry. Fades a bit over time. Nice light-medium body. Tannins are a touch astringent. On the whole, it's a great value everyday wine, especially if you can get it on offer!

Brett notes of horse manure & cider on the nose as well as some sour cherry. On the palete it is light bodied and quite short but very drinkable.

Not as pronounced on the nose as the 2020. There is lemon, a touch of grapefruit, some creaminess and a hint of struck match on the finish. Plenty of acidity on the palate and some nice texture to it.

Amazing value, lots of lovely reductive struck match / gunpowder aroma, with apple, honey, lemon curd, butter etc. Slightly lacking in acidity but overall an outstanding wine at this price
