Apricots, honey and a hint of vanilla on the nose. Rather intense, medium+ bodied and silky on the palate. While this has good acidity, there’s a ripe fruit sweetness to this too. Medium+ length.

We had this with lamb shanks in wine sauce (prepared with Rupert & Rothschild classique 2018). Sour cherry on the nose. Likewise on the palate, med intensity, with lots of juicy acidity. Tannins need more time to resolve. Med+ length. While this is drinking well now, in particular with food, there’s certainly an upside; 94pts in 5 years, 95 in 10?

A steely note appeared, beside the quince and apple. The ripe acidity is really utterly delicious.
