This wine from what is widely regarded as a potentially exceptional vintage won a Best in Show Award at the 2022 Decanter World Wine Awards, from 18,244 wines entered. Sealed with screw-cap. The colour is opaque purple with some lightening on the rim. Classic Gimblett Gravels aromas of spiced plum and bracken with a hint of black pepper. A light palate weight despite 11% whole bunch. Supple tannins and lacy acidity. Medium intensity plum with some spiced meat flavours. A lighter style (15 months but with only 22% new oak) and I’d would be looking to drink in the next 2-3 years. 92pts
