"Dark fragrance on the nose, dark chocolate, violets, slate, smoke and liquorice. Rich and round in the mouth, fleshy and vibrant - so much energy and life here. Bright, almost sweet but high toned too, sleek but so delicate. You get the flavour, the texture, lattice like, so delicately constructed but this isn't a light wine. Succulent, fresh, lifted and just so full of life. A touch of austerity on the finish - the tension coming through with the slate and graphite mintiness. There’s still a bite on the finish but that will be softened in time. I love this wine. 35% production. 3.7pH. 10% press. Ageing 50% new oak for the first year then foudre." - Georgina Hindle (04/2025)

"Medium intensity, inky colour and some delicious sappy fruits. Stretched out, sinewy, lean muscles, charcoal, slate, peony, gunsmoke, hugely engaging texture with salinity, and a mouthwatering finish. Easy to recommend, love it. Harvest 25 September to 10 October, 3.7ph, first year ageing in barrels, second in larger oak casks." (04/2025)
