James Suckling95 pts

Lots of sweet berries with plum and cherry aromas that follow through to a full body with plenty of ripe tannins, yet they are polished and savory. Very juicy. Bright and tangy finish. Balanced and fresh. From organically grown grapes. Drink after 2022.

Spring and summer were warm, but especially dry, with slightly more rain in the north; the best wines are balanced and fresh for enjoying over the near term
