Tasting Notes
‘Reminiscent of our wines in the early years, a true Georgia’s Paddock style of raspberry with red earth notes and
soft integrated tannins. While this vintage initially appears a little closed, given a few minutes, opens up to a
brilliant red fruit and spicy nose. Juicy strawberries and fresh raspberry fill a generous palate with great length.
Delicious now but easily cellared for those with patience. High grade cork sealed.’
Emily McNally, July 2024.

Scores
96 / 100"A pretty and intense nose of blackcurrants, anise and violets. At first, it doesn't give away much, it's very composed and stealthy in its expression. With air, hints of iodine, pepper and bush spices arise. A bomb of flavour explodes on the palate—black olives, violets and sweet spices are framed by powdery tannins. The tannin quality is a stand-out, it's so fine yet long and sleek. This is ripe and full-bodied yet everything is perfectly jigsawed into place, nothing seems forced. In its youth, It's a touch apprehensive to reveal all, but this is a wine meant for aging. Palate staining, formidable stuff."
