Typically a great buy. The attractive 2020 vintage (4*) was fermented and matured in French oak casks (17 per cent new). Light lemon/green, it is fragrant and full-bodied, with ripe stonefruit flavours, finely integrated oak, a hint of butterscotch, fresh acidity, and excellent balance and depth. Already drinking well, it should break into full stride mid-2022+.
