You'll know by now I just can't get enough of this wine. Coffee, liquorice, cough sweet aromas on the nose, sticky liquorice, raisins, dried strawberries. Gorgeous texture, wow, this is so drinkable. It's dialled down a notch from the excellent 2015 and 2016 vintages but the trademarks are there - grippy, salty tannins, a gorgeous sweetness on the mid palate, lots of dried fruit aromas and high acidity giving lift and length. So smooth overall with such energy to this wine yet it’s deep, dense, and complex too. This is out to please and it does. Hugely satisfying and a great glass of wine. Just fantastic. Intense but so utterly irresistible. (Drink between 2025-2060)
Plush and opulent, with a creamy chocolate edge to the concentrated minty blackberries, dark walnuts, mussels and pine cones. Rich, broad and full-bodied with lots of oak now, but still very fresh and tangy. Lots of fine-grained tannins tuck up the dark fruit and the sweet spices into a lengthy finish. Needs some time for the oak to settle more. Drink from 2024.
