Avec des notes animales, des touches variétales et des senteurs d'épices, de rose, de bourgeon de cassis et de cassis, le nez est singulier et vibrant. Bouche juteuse, toujours des notes animales, de rose, de gouache et des tanins qui serrent en finale. Suspicion de phénols.

Deep ruby red, sweet black cherry and loganberry, cassis pastille (something I often get in great Cabernet from Australia, as the flavours are so concentrated and pure). No hard edges, this has tannins but they are wrapped in chocolate, with smoked rosemary, anis, turmeric, wild herbs and spices. It rises up to meet you and doesn’t let go, handling a difficult growing season with ease. Acidity is fresh, giving a kick on the finish, suggesting that this need another thee to four years in bottle. Great stuff from owner Will Berliner. 175 of 2888 bottles, 3.71ph. Harvest March 29-30, 3.71ph. Biodynamic farming across the entire estate, but no certification.

This offers very fresh violets and a rich core of mulberries and plums with chocolate and spiced, cedary oak. The palate is smooth, supple and elegantly contained with a sleek delivery of bold, ripe cherries and berries and a smooth, very approachable finish. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
