Violets and blue fruits. A clean spirit tinged with light florals. Luscious and layered, blueberries and strawberries in the mouth. Good detail. Some chocolate and licorice with air. Long and fleshy. Great balance and so delicious.

Almost a Grange-like crushed ant note to the aroma. There’s so much going on and the wine is so deep and luscious. Fruits are dark and there’s a strand of licorice weaving through the flavour profile. It has some vanilla spice and is powerful, rich, long and light on its feet.

Vinous London dinner, January 2020 (La Trompette): A privilege to taste this, but I'm not sure it was ready as its appeal was rather subtle. Extremely cool and drinkable, demonstrating its class and potential, but the score reflects my enjoyment on the night.

Super young but clearly serious business - very deeply pitched, focused blackberry, raisin, sultana, quince; broad, expansive palate. Crystalline, magnificent finish. Should be sublime in another 30 years.

Deep rich color, nice on the palate, tapenade softer, less depth on the finish.
