A stylish rendition, the wine shows ripe plum, raspberry, thyme, game and elegant oak aromas, leading to a juicy palate that's plump and silky-smooth. Charming and seductive with layers of delectable fruit flavours and spicy nuances. At its best: now to 2032.

Sourced from what feels like prime real estate in Sellicks Hill and Blewitt Springs: floral, concentrated and sweet of fruit. Reliant on a sheen of oak (75% new) and gently extracted tannins for structure. Less of the former and more of the latter would be appreciated. Rich. Plush. Smooth FM in liquid form. Easy-listening sort of stuff. A skein of peppery acidity breaks up the raft of blueberry, nori and kirsch. Ned Goodwin MW. Published 04 April 2022.
