Drinking Window: 2018 - 2022
A rich and concentrated style, almost one-fifth of this wine was fermented in large oak cuves of 10,000-litres, and all parcels remained on full lees post-fermentation, which brings impressive weight and attractive texture on the mid-palate. In terms of aromatics, this vintage is generally less flamboyant than previous years, but there's still a delectable array of aromatics ranging from elderflower and gooseberry to blackcurrant and passionfruit. Fine, with balanced acidity and a long length.
