Beautifully floral and alive on the nose, pure violets and ripe plummy notes with cool cola touches too. Almost heady aromatics. Svelte and smooth, a lovely soft and comforting texture straight away. This has both crisp fruit touches with slightly fleshy tannins – a bit of brisk citric acidity keeps it focused and tangy but there’s definitely intensity and concentration to this too. Nothing overdone, but you can feel the heat and spice on the finish. Cranberry and blackcurrant. I like this because it’s confident, it’s not over the top or too much, but it’s definitely showing a 2022 side to it which many don't. However, it’s succulent and crisp at the same time ending cool, laser sharp, chalky with a limestone, flint grip. Very good, a lot going on here – really very nuanced.
