Born from a growing season of dramatic shifts—a wet spring followed by a hot, dry summer and a perfect autumn—this wine displays an intense bouquet of black raspberries, red currants, and violets, underpinned by notes of damp earth and crushed stone. The palate is medium-to-full-bodied and remarkably vibrant, with a seamless core of fruit framed by ultra-fine, pixelated tannins and a persistent saline minerality. It is considered one of the most sophisticated and long-lived vintages ever produced at the property.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"viewMoreModule_text\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"viewMoreModule_text\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e99 Points - James Suckling\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"viewMoreModule_text\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"viewMoreModule_text\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMedium-bodied with precise tannins that are delicately polished, guiding the fruit with clarity and focus. There is an elegant structure, giving the wine a refined, composed character rather than weight or power. Already approachable, it shows balance and harmony yet clearly has more to reveal.
