Aiming for a 'fruit-driven' style, the 2020 vintage (4*) is a Gimblett Gravels red, matured in tanks and seasoned French oak barrels. Deeply coloured, it is mouthfilling and fruit-packed, with strong, plummy, spicy flavours, a hint of toasty oak, fresh acidity and supple tannins. Full of youthful vigour, it's worth cellaring to 2023+.
