"Well handled, this has clear toasted oak, grilled cedar, cocoa bean, aromatics that lend the gourmet touches that are not always easy to find in 2024. Things get a little more austere on the close of play, with fresh acidities but juicy and enjoyable, soft finish. 50% new oak. Harvest 17 to 28 September." (04/2025)

"Ripe and perfumed nose, filled with floral scents and lots of blackcurrants. Quite tannic from the start, a little dry too on the mid palate with some sticky liquorice and cedar tones just taking over from the fruit. A bit pushed maybe or just not integrated enough at this stage. Has elements of cool blue fruit and cola which give freshness. Some acidity but a touch short on the finish. Ageing 50% new oak barrels for 12-14 months." - Georgina Hindle (04/2025)
