A choir of purple-clad gospel singers harmonise through bilberries, blackberries and cherries. There is a swirl of lilac and caraway seed spice that echoes throughout. Acidity is fine-tuned to the powdery, silt-like tannins. It is vibrant, with more savoury, sappy richness this vintage than in the past. This is one hell of a memorable wine. Drink now if you need to taste to believe, and then put a case away for decades to come.\u003c\/em\u003e -Shanteh Wale – 97 Points, Halliday Wine Companion, published 19 June 2025\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAbout This Wine\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2022 was a cool and moderate season.
