lifted, ripe, perfume, red fruits, plum, mineral, herby, poised, still very primary and unevolved. Some earth and spice, but focused and with weightless concentration. Becoming more serious with air. Bramble, forest floor, tobacco leaf, nice length, broad, and improving with time in the glass. Some rounded tannin and some elegant fruit flavours. Well made, accomplished and in need of some more time in bottle. Nice length, fruity but with subtle depth. Herbs and grass. Not as contemplative as the two previous bottles that were a touch forward, but this is almost younger tasting than when tasted at the winery. Quite excellent... But at the end of the day, it is what it is!
67-71+/100 Jono Beagle's hundred point scoring system.
0-29/100 not worth bothering with
30-49/100 good wine but I wouldn't buy a case
50-59/100 very good showing grape and terroir character
60-69/100 excellent example of a wine from this country/region/grape
70-85/100 one of the very best wines that the region has to offer.
86-100/100 one of the very best wines you are ever likely to drink
