Reductive for sure, in the new wave, Walter Scott-esque sense, but not aggressively so and it blows off in an hour or so. Loads of berries beneath, tart and restrained, with that reductive character showing in a flinty/marine quality to the fruit. Palate is full of retronasal aromatics, light-ish in body but with the tannins making themselves known on the close. An old-school forest floor aspect emerges later in the day. Super pretty.

Waaaayyyy too reductive. Smells downright poopy. It's a shame cuz I can tell there's some nice black and purple fruits down underneath there but it is definitely the type of sulfuric infusion that does not blow off with time. And believe me, I tried to aerate it. Bummer.

Reductive and earthy, drank next to Evesham Eola, and this seemed blocky and a bit less acidic.

Sour cranberry fruit. Good crunch. Great balance. Some drying tannins.
