Popped and poured. Darker ruby color. Fresh nose of cranberry, anise, ocean air, cherry pits. Surprisingly accessible on the palate with exuberant red raspberry fruit, stones, brambles and lots of minerals amply displayed. Formidable but ultimately sweet tannins, almost balanced by pangs of primary fruit and bracing acidity. Long finish of grippy red fruit, tartness, and iron filings. Nice drink at this very early stage, with all the elements needed to age well.

Gorgeous nose with floral elements, bright red fruit and a hint of mushrooms. Wonderful balance of fruit and brambly earth on the palate. Long, silky finish. This is really drinking well right now...

(Parent Pommard Epenots) The aromas are a little tight, but at it's centre is a super core of red/black fruit. Wide, with velvety tannin and excellent acidity. The fruit chases the acidity into the finish while the tannin clings to the inside of your mouth. This will require some cellar time but has all the components to be a wonderful bottle down the line…

Should have started these earlier as Meadows' 2015 start was too conservative. Quite austere.
