Tendrils of smoke drift over blueberry and plum fruit with an understated touch of cocoa on the nose. There’s an affability and approachable ease to the palate. Lively and fresh with the same plum and berry fruit the nose promised. Juicy and vibrant, a light trace of dark cocoa powder lends richness and nuance. The body is gently yielding but boasts a nice firm frame and oodles of textural appeal.

Limestone and dust motes mingle with foliage and a gentle wisp of pear blossom on the nose. The immediate impression is vivid and thrilling, with zesty grapefruit, nettles, and crisp succulence. The wine then unfolds, growing in both texture and flavor, offering richer, broader elements of lemon oil, subtle creamy oak, and a touch of wax with the faintest hint of honey. It has a delightful frame and body, with a cohesive interplay of lively acidity, lees richness, and vibrant fruit. It will reward patience, gaining in complexity and nuance over time, with the waxy note becoming more prominent.

Tendrils of spice add nuance and allure to a nose packed with black berries, hedgerow fruit and some mocha notes. The palate is plush, rounded and pillowy but layered with dark fruitcake flavour, black cherry, baking spice and pencil shavings too. The mouthfeel is complemented by its overall stature and regal refinement. Balanced with seamless integration of oak and ripe, rich fruit with lovely succulence and freshness as well. Complex, supple and silky smooth, the wine is ultimately simply delicious with a superbly long tail.

A gentle florality adds to the more prominent stonefruit and light touch of honey on the nose. The mouth delivers a veritable fruit salad: flavours of melon, nectarine, quince and apricot intermingle seamlessly. Delightful succulence and freshness from appropriate acidity but there is a broad, creamy lees undertone that adds texture and breadth to the tasty mouthful. Good composure and structure only add to the enjoyment, as does a delicate citrus pith nuance which is apparent on the long, lingering aftertaste.

An array of stone fruit mingles with citrus leaf, a whiff of vanilla, spice and a subtle florality on the nose. On entry, the palate is tangy and lively but also creamy and broad. Instantly apparent are the nectarine, peach and citrus flavours, with an interesting pithy grip of texture and a savouriness too. There’s a lovely harmony of acid succulence with rich, understated, almost nutty oak support. The well-knit wood just brackets and cradles the fruit rather than dominating it. Elegant and composed with good poise, there’s a tasty spice and vanilla note that makes itself felt on the lengthy, rewarding aftertaste. Superb complexity and apparent effortlessness make it all too easy to drink.
