"The 2015 growing season was a meeting of extremes. The summer heat left its stamp on the fruit, with succulent, ripe flavours pervading the wines. There are substantial tannins in the reds thanks to thick grape skins, although they are supple, almost without exception. There is freshness and poise too, due in part to the water reserves built up over a wet winter. This is a blend of several parcels: a snapshot of the appellation. It is spicy and darkly-fruited on the nose, with blackberry and a fine earthiness. Characterful and textured."
