"So fragrant, with sweet raspberry fruit, crunchy red cherry, a curl of gunsmoke with layers of orange and mandarin peel. Delicate yet intense, so much lift and carved tannic architecture, stands out for its approachability and quality. A low yielding year with some challenging moments due to the heat, meaning lots of selection needed, but the result is impressive, and no need to wait to drink. First time with the Place."

"Fragrant and appealing, really quite welcoming on the nose with creamy strawberries, wild flowers and dried herbs and some iron filings. Supple and bright, quite high acidity makes the mouth water instantly with fine-grained tannins giving the structure and support. A really substantial wine with a big, bold frame but it caresses and holds interest. Great texture to the tannins, lovely intensity and grip but still giving delicate and pure fruit. Compelling and totally captivating. A touch tight still, this will need some time, but it's a beauty." - Georgina Hindle (02/2024)
