July 4, 2023 - Lovely fruit definition and intensity on the nose together with spice and forest floor. Some savoury touches. Expansive on the palate. Very fresh. Showing some nice development already so potentially not for the long haul. Delicious.
WSET notes:
Pale garnet.
Pronounced on the nose with raspberry, redcurrant, red cherry, cedar, cinnamon, earth, smoke, leather, savoury notes, wet stone and forest floor. Developing.
Pronounced and dry on palate. Light body, high acidity, low tannins, medium alcohol, long finish.
Can drink now but has potential for ageing. -
Big Juicy Red Likes this wine:
November 25, 2021 - Still very young and primary, as others have noted. Much more fruit driven than I was expecting/hoping for. Also not super complex, at least right now. Definitely needs more time, but I’m a little underwhelmed at the moment.

January 2, 2021 - Young with a lot of brooding power. Very bright straight out of the bottle but mellowing down to more integrated red fruit, oak/sandalwood, cloves/spice with a slight sweetness over time. Would be a perfect pairing to a christmas bird/roast.
