Notes
"It’s a more quiet expression of Allouran, pencils and subtle earthiness, tobacco and perfume, blue and black fruit, some light spicy and nutty oak in play, a little mint, menthol and green herb. It’s medium-bodied, savoury but with brightness and energy, tannin has something of a graphite grip, and the wine feels very composed and comfortable in its skin, and finishes long, red-fruited, cocoa-dusted and fresh. Sophisticated. Claret-like. You can buy this with confidence, and just quietly, I reckon it’s one of the better and more interesting vintages of this wine.†94 points. Gary Walsh, October 2024.
