Blue/black fruited palate, has lost the high notes and florality of youth, this now comes across as more compact and somewhat foursquare and dumb. That said, 1/2 of the bottle sat in the fridge for about four nights, with no degradation, and some nuances like pork sausage and salted meat emerged. Interesting. Probably best as a young wine.

Loved this. Already showing a lot of savoury meaty and smoky depth beyond the bright, youthful red and dark fruited flavours, with a very seamless, polished palate presence. Time in the glass brings out more high toned lavender and peppery notes, and the balance is outstanding. One I definitely need to get more of.

Will T’s St Joseph @ Hawksmoor (Hawksmoor, Guildhall): Slightly cloudy mid ruby. Spicy, and a little feral. Good acidity with some bite. Some character here. ***1/2

Very nice olive, smoked meat, and blueberry nose. Nice flavours on taste with a saline finish. Medium legth and medium body. Very nice.
