  Last bottle of two cases bought en primeur. Looking back in my last note (2018) I feel I was a bit harsh on a wine I would now describe as delicious from a vastly underrated vintage. This has thickened out and displays wonderful blackcurrant fruits and forestry undergrowth. I can’t believe how wonderfully this has developed and seems to still have a way to go but certainly is in a great place right now. Rather sorry I’ve run out of the stuff!

  Consistent with previous note. A very cool-vintage profile (blackcurrant leaf, wet coal), but firm and sturdy, not weedy.

  First of 12 and I'm glad I waited. This is in a great place now, still very fresh, decent blackberry and redcurrant fruit, a hint of cedary and spice. From an often under-rated vintage, that was priced very competitively on release. Drink over next 5 years or so?

  Clear red colour. Slightly perfumed nose of lavender and black fruit but quite tight. Nice rounded mouthfeel - black fruits, cedar and a touch of lavender. Medium body - a classic claret. Bright and drinking nicely.

  Very happy with where this is at the moment. It gives a sense of presence in the mouth and balances the fruit and savoury elements. The acidity and tannins work to give shape and allow the fruit and secondary flavours to show through. No sense of the 13.5% alc. Goes well with food and beyond.
