Description
From a 1.26 ha holding; 50% whole clusters.
A more deeply pitched nose displays smoky aromas of various dark berries, violet and a hint of spiced plum. There is both good energy and focused power to the detailed flavours that terminate in a markedly austere finish that is presently borderline bitter and a bit short. It’s hard to say whether this rustic effort will better harmonize over time, as this is decidedly awkward today.
Drink from 2031 onward

Cask sample
Rich and perfumed, with a lovely, supple texture and just the right amount of acidity. Clean, fresh, and interesting, though still a bit hard for the moment.

One third whole cluster. Decent solid fruit on the nose here, rugged perhaps. Dark fruit with a redder final touch, a mite of spice, good tannins, slightly taking the fore over acidity, the fruit stays equal to it and continues on well behind.
