  September 15, 2021 - Light- garnet to a brown rim. The bouquet is savoury with undergrowth, mushroom, herb and dried earth but saved by an elegant floral twist. As it opens more pear and mulberry arrive.
  Medium+ acid on entry, the wine has a cherry stone texture, some lifted red flowers, strawberry and spiky alcohol. Feels rather ripe and syrupy yet with chewy, almost hessian tannins and a mineral grip. It sees to come together with a crushed stone and some compaction to the tannins making for a solid wine but I wasn't completely taken. Everything seemed rather gritty and open-knit. Bright finish and more rock dust as it exits. A tenacious wine.

  September 24, 2018 - with a bit of air this is nice. Red fruit and a touch of earth. Good balancing acidity.

  August 18, 2018 - From memory: Wild strawberries, damp soil and floral perfume on the nose and palate. Fairly powerful and concentrated, but lacks detail – hard to explain, but comes across as a little “blurry-edged”. Not a major inconvenience, but a little more precision would no doubt have justified an additional point or two.
