The 2022 Series M, which has a little more Malbec in the blend this year, matured for 22 months in 30% new French oak barriques. This has fine lift on the nose, quite pure and delineated, with Morello cherry, raspberry and blood orange. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins. This is a chiseled and focused Series M, one of the most elegant I can recall. It’s perhaps more linear in style than usual, but I find ample precision on the almost Bordeaux-like finish. This is excellent. Drink 2025-2038.
The nose reveals a bouquet of ripe blueberry and intense red berry fruit. The palate is layered with rich, full-bodied flavours of ripe plums and sweet spiced oak. The finish is crisp, elegantly balanced, and impressively complex. Gold medal.
