Gorgeous and golden, drinking in its prime. It’s a patchwork of fine boned fruit, lemon zest, mixed nuts, struck match and rolling oak. Length and breadth in the wine is great, with a little bit of butter filling it all in. Faint spice and minerals have it singing on an uptick.

A cracker. On night one, the crunchy cherries and crisp and clear. On night 2, they are a darker red and a bit juicier. A hint raspy, lime juice acidity, and plenty of chewy tobacco. This wine has depth and breadth wilst remaining light enough.

Incredibly consistent. This drinks similarly to the 2022. Plush and marginal with funk on day one, making one double-take and appreciate. As it opens (and performs on night 2) it integrates and gains a textural depth.
