Other Reviews....
Hand picked, mechanically berry sorted and 100% destemmed and crushed into ceramic eggs, where fermentation occurred. On skins for a whooping 101 days. No oak, merely further egg time for 8 months. I have adored each iteration of this cuvée since its inception. This is no exception. A pallid ruby. Brilliant aromas of woodsmoke, campfire, orange peel and sour cherry, sapid and intense. The mid-weighted palate is framed by a spindly web of tannins that are almost chiffon-like as much as granular, edgy and nebbiolo-esque. Less mid-palate mettle than in the past, but delicious earlier drinking. Drink by 2024.

Incredible colour, just a few pay grades up from rose. So bright and vibrant to look at. All raised in ceramic eggs, 101 days on skins, righteous work with grenache.
Rose hip tea, lipstick, cherry and dried herb scents. So pure, shimmering, silky and yet wrapped in a web of ultra fine, wet stone tannins. Magnificent texture. Purity, drive, vibrancy, a beautiful lightweight yet detailed wine of incredible energy and poise. So delicious. So very, very good. World beating stuff. Benchmark. Drink 2021 - 2027+
