“2023 was a growing season of two halves. Initially, spring was incredibly wet and warm, which had us watching the disease pressure in the vineyard very closely. Then suddenly the rain disappeared, and summer arrived in December, allowing us all to relax and enjoy the rest of summer watching the grapes ripen as they needed to. It was a relief! ” - Winemaker William Hoare
This wine shows great pinosity. On the nose it’s full of dark wild berries, cocoa and damsel plum. The palate is more delicate, with dark fruit bolstered by a supportive but not dominating core of tannin, with a very endearing soft, rich mouth feel. A wine to savour.
Lovely ready now dry red. What You expect from down that way with no rough edges and just enough tannin to give it some grunt. Very good value at this price.
Have been buying this wine for years (and years). Consistently delivers a beautiful, savoury rhone wine experience. Definitely punches above its weight. Deep garnet, full bodied, leathery with light spice notes.
Dark, medium to full bodied, with mature flavours starting to evolve. Excellent value, typical Bordeaux wine. Could easily become our house favourite! Delivers very good value for the price.
