Tasting Notes

17
Jancis Robinson Julia Harding - 12 Apr 23
AP number 04 22. Named after the shelter where they first made wine. Vines planted 1971. Two barrels, one new.Light-to-mid ruby. More obvious oak but it's seductive in its spicy sweetness, not overpowering. A hint of peppery reduction. Darker-fruited, more savoury, lovely harmony between fruit and oak. Tannins are fine, starting to melt, but the harmony suggests longevity. Sour-cherry aftertaste is very moreish. (JH)
