“Pale colour, with at first sight or rather sniff a fair amount of oak showing. But the fruit doesn’t take long to emerge. Orchard fruit with wonderful but well-honed intensity, the oak quickly disappearing from sight or rather taste. Correct acidity and a tannic base help to make this a wine for significant keeping. Very classy in all departments! Drink from 2032-2042.”

“These 16 acres are owned by Ben—the first vines he bought in 2009. The wine is verbose with orchard fruits and sweet and salty wisps of caramel. Swinging with acidity and lightly cherubesque in fruit density, this is very finely balanced to appeal soon and to age at length. Still, better to wait at least seven years or more.”
