*ALL PRICES IN BOND* 88 points, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy: Darkish sombre crimson. The nose has a gentler red fruit, there is a significant ball of soft red fruit in the mouth, strawberries and a few raspberries, some oak at the back, acidity not especially present, tannins properly ripened.
*Prices in Bond* Showing a youthful, taut, slightly flinty reductive character on the nose with chocolate and raspberry nuances. The palate reveals tart glassy acids with a sleek structure, saline maritime tension, and a pithy, smoky, slightly savoury leesy limestone minerality on the finish.
