  Another light Syrah almost pinot-like, this was too easy to drink or is there such a thing? Medium minus aromas of violet, blueberry, and bacon fat. Flavours of dried red pepper, blackberry, raspberry, ash, with a hint of black pepper and menthol. Quick finish with approachable tannins and medium acidity.

  There's a really delicious wine in here somewhere, but probably needs a bit more time to reveal itself because it's not really stitched itself together yet.
  
  Drink 2025 - 2032.

  The last bottle, drunk last year was disappointing. A little unremarkable, and a little flat. I would have given it 88pts.
  This time the wine really shone. Aromatic, dense but fluid, lovely acidity on the very long finish. One of those bottles you don't want to end. Glad I have more.

  I note the review on Jancisrobinson.com from a year ago commenting on the ambition and structure of this wine, but I struggled to find a lot of fruit, or indeed much nuance, over two nights, and ultimately it came across as just a bit hard and uninteresting. But I'll be patient with my second bottle...

  Nice wine, blackberries, raspberry, and a touch of spice (mostly anise). Tannins are present but nicely. Nice length!
