It opens with expressive aromas of blackberries, dark cherries, cola, liquorice, and subtle floral and mineral notes. The palate is linear and focused, combining fine, long tannins with juicy fruit purity and fresh acidity. Medium-bodied yet energetic, the 2025 vintage shows excellent clarity and balance, finishing long with a refined, mineral-driven lift and strong ageing potential.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\" data-sheets-value='{\"1\":2,\"2\":\"The Wine Advocate | RP 98\\nPublished: Nov 30, 2018\"}' data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":577,\"3\":{\"1\":0},\"9\":2,\"12\":0}'\u003eJames Suckling |\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(158, 0, 57); text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eJS 95-96\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003ePublished: \u003cspan\u003eApr 30, 2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFocused and curated, with very long, fine tannins that take the wine on a journey.

A cool crystalline nose, cola, liquorice, tar and blueberries. So clean and pure. Crisp and focused from the off, a cooling menthol and blackcurrant element, soft grippy tannins and the most beautiful juicy mid palate that just makes you smile. A happy wine. It’s powerful no doubt but in a restrained way without any heaviness. Vibrant and energetic. I love the focus, the freshness and relatively delicacy. Filing in the month but this is exceptional in terms of fruit purity. Very drinkable.
