Tasting Note

Quite an open and complex aroma profile of raspberry, cranberry, cinnamon bark, lilac and pink rose petals with signature pink lady apple aroma. Very high site typicity and purity with intense fragrance and depth. There's an almost cooler alpine strawberry fragrance here, or a cooling of acidity. A fresh opening of raspberry and medium weighted red fruits carried with tighter fine boned tannins upon opening that then unfurl and liven over time in glass to unleash a powerful understated length.

Review

"From 1960s vines in Blewitt Springs planted to Holocene sand; 20% whole bunch, about 21 days on skins, then 10 months in an old 2500L foudre. There’s a compactness to this, a quietness on opening, fruit enmeshed presently, but there’s concentration, balance and prettiness within. Cranberry, ripe raspberry, damson plum, marasca cherry, some darker cherry, too. Hints of dusky rose, ground cinnamon, white pepper, brown cardamom, bitter herbs, the palate buoyant yet intense, the fine-boned tannins and enlivening acidity invigorating. There’s a lot yet to unfurl, but it’s all there."
