Natural, open fermentation, basket pressed, 50% whole bunches. Matured 9 months in French barriques (25% new). The toasty oak makes a sweet, spicy impression on this wine, bringing a coffee-ground savouriness to ripe, dark cherry and plum fruits. Elena Brooks reliably captures the essence of the grape and the region here with its fine-flowing tannins and dark chocolate, savoury corners.

Deepish red colour with a good purple tint and a rich, ripe, dark-cherry to blackberry aromas, fruit-driven and straightforward, while the palate is relatively full-bodied and dense, with liberal tannins and a degree of grip to finish. This has good ageing potential. 20 MAR 2022 Drink 2023–2030

This effortless choreographed intermingling allows the wine to subtly demonstrate, in a quite introverted way, its tannic depth, and then in a much more demonstrable way, its ability to soar on the lifting acidity and bright dark summer berries and fruits. There's fruit richness when you need it, but just; and there are those powdery puckering tannins when required, but only a trace; and then the splice and spice of acidity to keep you and the wine both tense, alert and wanting.
