A beautiful, soaring nose of crushed rose petals above a dark, bitter cherry core of astonishing purity. The palate is textured and juicy, with a crystalline blueberry and blackcurrant immediacy to match the nose. Finely gradated and, above all, poised, it hangs in a perfect surface tension of fruit, tannin and acidity. In his typically understated way, Peter acknowledged a mid-palate that I really liked. The old vine character is obvious in this wine's nuanced profundity
