PNP. Intoxicating purple berry perfume. Pretty fruit and secondary notes. Woody, herbal and in the zone. Not improving with time open so I’d say drink up.

This is the “regular” Bearswallow not the porcupine hill. Love Rhys but this was a bit closed and uninteresting

Amazing structure and nice red fruit integration. I decanted the bottle but should have done sooner. These wines are meant to age and they need to open up to show full potential.

Rich cherry cola, rich and sophisticated dark fruits, black raspberry, well defined tannin structure. Will definitely benefit from time in bottle.

Four fantastic 2014 Rhys Pinots. The two SCM wines were best.

Lovely dirt+fruit balanced Pinot. Not a fruit bomb which is a plus for me. Drink now.
