Description
6% co-fermented Viognier. Yields were 20% reduced.
Deep, bright red/purple colour with a fragrant sweet-spice aroma, white pepper, cloves—an assortment of spices, nicely harmonised, nothing dominating too much. The wine is medium-bodied but very intense with a long carry, and firm, tightly-coiled tannins on the follow-through. A beautifully perfumed, harmonious, fine but intense wine.

Alistair Cooper MW 17.5+/20
Youthful nose and a little shy at the moment. Ripe dark fruits and firm tannins, beautifully put together and has real depth – needs a long time. Drink 2025-2038 Alistar Cooper MW, JancisRobinson.com (Sept 2021)
