The bright garnet hue suggests freshness even after three years in the bottle. The "classic" conditions of the 2021 vintage in Bannockburn deliver a highly perfumed and savoury wine with lifted spice coming from the whole clusters used in the fermentation. The aromas include a wonderful medley of florals, red berries, damson plum, mushroom, and freshly tilled earth. The oak is nicely integrated, adding architecture to the wine and the modest alcohol (12.5%) is refreshing. The palate has a solid core with silky fine tannins, refined concentration, and a lingering finish. This vintage is enjoyable at release but has a long life ahead of it with much more to reveal for those who patiently cellar some bottles.Jen Parr - Winemaker
