A powerful and concentrated wine that has solid tannins and a tight, firm structure. It comes from heavily granitic soil, giving a steely texture that will take time to soften. As the red cherry and plum flavors develop, it will broaden out impressively. Drink from 2016.

Intensely juicy, this is packed with acidity and tight red-cherry fruit layered with firm tannins. It feels a little austere at the moment, and it is likely to take time to open.

201090 pts
Ripe, densely structured wine, balancing tannins, acidity and red plum and cherry fruit flavors. There's a strong mineral edge here, a wine that needs 2–3 years of aging, to round out its edges.
