Ray Jordan’s review
The '23 vintage and longer season seem to have suited this beautiful, aromatic, perfumed variety really well. It's allowed the lovely floral violet and mulberry notes to accumulate on the nose, with just a trace of graphite. The palate is concentrated, with a firmish graphite tannin contribution, a little oyster-shell minerality and plush red fruits that roll and cascade across the palate. Probably the most refined and polished example of this wine yet.
