January 28, 2020 - brief note, tiny tasting tour
N....thrusting intensity, sweet wood, toffee apple
T.....caramel, sweet oak again, good fruit but a Foodie style (dry-ish), possibly too much wood/out of balance at moment (Feb 2020)
Rec RP £43.00.....doesn't feel worth that much. -

September 24, 2019 - Expected this to be a lot more buttery but frankly the green, stone fruits dominated and had a firm structure and good acidity. Fresh and young still but well giving wine and made for an excellent wine to kick off our dinner. 90-91
