Insane! Finally back to some proper wine after a holiday in Cornwall!

Just like my original review but I got a much better price! I popped and poured this one, but it should be decanted over an hour for both sediment and flavor. I was just in a rush due to bath night. I’ll definitely be buying more!

The 2nd best wine I’ve ever had!!

I originally thought I over paid @ £140, and probably did versus the market, but it was so worth it.

Very similar to Chateau Haut Brion. 45+ minute decant. Nose was balanced between French terroir and deep cherry fruit. Very rustic. Wine was complex with awesome texture. Deep fruit but coated the palate and was very gentle. Long finish capped it off.

Truly amazing!!!
