Loads of energy, hyper fresh. Somewhat oxidative in style. That the yeasts are natural is obvious, so those who aren’t fans of the “spontaneous fermentation funk” might want to think twice, but the balance is great in any case.

Really superb wine, and fantastic value. Characteristic Bordeaux-blend aromas (to be expected, given it is a Bordeaux-blend wine…), but so much focussed energy. Very finely balanced and punching above its weight.

Drunk young, so lots of potential left on the table, but brilliant poise and energy. Tropical and racy. Hard to put down.
