Fresh and pure on the fruit. No oak. Not meant to be a light early drinking wine. Vinified without added sulphur. Short elevage. Beautiful bright pink rim to the glass. Je voudrais vous revoir - I would like to see you again. First bottle in 2019. 100% Merlot. Vines planted in 2001 and 2002. Smells lovely and perfumed, more darker blackcurrant and black cherry on the nose. Softly sweet with prettiness. Prairie Lay and Wheeler. £12.50 per bottle. Lovely juiciness, mouthwatering acidity fills the mouth with fresh and juicy cherries and strawberries. This is fresh fruit forward with a lovely framing spice to it. Good structure, fine tannins that are so well integrated they support the fruit and frame it. blackcurrant. You can taste the structure here, layers of fruit and complexity. Long ageing potential. Drink now or hold on to it - 5-10 years. Very appealing. LOVELY cooling aftertaste. Drinking Window 2023 - 2028
