Pepper, herbs and a definite farmy note on the nose. Very finely tannic on the finish. Has the stature and power of Hermitage, if not the full complexity – but that may well come. (RH)

Score 16.5/20 · Drink 2018-2026, Richard Hemming MW, jancisrobinson.com, Sep 2018
Richly fruited, with a baked bramble scent and a strong leathery element. Relatively supple tannins, but the alcohol burns on the finish. Is this really only 13.5%? Relies heavily on your tolerance of animal, farmy characters on the finish. (RH)
