Tasting Notes

Once again the wood treatment is generous but it stops short of being intrusive on the nose of mineral reduction, tidal pool and quinine aromas. There is wood on the palate as well as on the concentrated, intense and muscular flavors that deliver fine length on the citrus-tinged and very dry finish. This isn't refined and the wood isn't subtle but once again there is good development potential.

Allen Meadows, Burghound.com (76), October 2019

80% of their holding of a hectare is from 78 year old vines, exposed south-east, with 20% on the opposite flank. The two slopes were picked together in 2018 which is not always the case. This is quite luxurious with some peaches and yellow plums, 13.4% but in balance. This is ripe aromatically but with no undue heat. Tasted: June 2019
