Community Tasting Notes (1) Avg Score: 98 points

  • The wine is almost intimidating to look at - the luminous garnet colour, the edge of orange in a wine so young. Soaring perfume of all the delicate spices, orange peel, lemon zest, cloves and sandalwood. The fruit is stunning. But the structure melts into perfect sphericity and heartbreaking textural sublimity. A near-perfect wine. I don't give a 98 lightly!

    Fabio Alessandria, the winemaker, says the 2020s aren't for the really long haul as much as the 2019s. He thinks they are more aromatic and fresher and would drink them at 5-10 years. He sees "wild strawberries" in them.
