Notes
"The Blue Poles wines from 2020 are a little lighter, and more crisp than some of the bigger years. I’ve no problem with that, in fact, I quite like it, though it’s duly noted.
A pleasing spectrum of fruit colour here – blue and red mainly – with a little cocoa and baking spice, and subtle bay leaf and mint top note. It’s medium-bodied, fresh and lively, cranberry acidity, some tobacco in the mix, a bit of graphite tannin, and crisp finish of solid length. It’s light but charming, and I reckon it will do well with some time in the cellar."
