Biodynamic
The farm, the whole farm and nothing but the farm, so help me Rippon.
A lighter trajectory here. Pristine fruit, brambly blackcurrants, briny minerality, cool, blood orange and sanguine characters. It?s savoury for sure but also feels decidedly frisky, almost alpine in its lift and freshness. The tannin profile is delicate, does deliver fine pucker and feels refreshing in its wake across the palate. Understated expression, very good, very fine. 94 points, drink 2022-2035+, Mike Bennie Winefront.
