"Sancerre style".

"Stunning aromatics of blackcurrant pastille, wild blackberry bush, white pepper and angelica leap from the glass as wet riverstone,oyster-shell and nutmeg enter their wake.The palate is just coming around now, displaying its full weight of enveloping sesame paste flavours around fresh, crisp green gageplum, capsicum and vine tomato.Layered, intricate and incredibly long,this youthful wine brings together wild-ferment funk,tangy, saline acidity, vibrant fruit and subtle oak with herbaceousness and minerality in a ballet of contrasts.Enjoy over the next few years as it reveals more of its mysteries."

"Fantastic,a developing bouquet of barrel-ferment and fruit intensity,spice and power,a wine in a perfect window for drinking,scents of baked apple and lees,peach and softwood spice highlights,a nettle and blackcurrant quality then a dried herb extract.A satin touch gives way quickly to firm texture from acidity and tannins,lees and a softwood smoke quality. Complex and lengthy a delicious wine to drink on its own or with select cuisine.Best from day of purchase through 2029+."
