Having spent over two years in barrel, Ollie finally thinks this is ready to be unleashed. Syrah, with 2.5% of Pinot Noir. A dark purple in the glass, with a bold, equally dark fragrance. Seems like it has a whole bunch component, but Ollie tells me it doesn\u2019t\u2026 there\u2019s a woody spice and herbal aspect present. The oak has integrated well, taking a back set to some epic tannin. Nebbiolo-like, with an orange peel and tapenade element as well. Very good.<\/p><p>The Chateau Garage bottles are swelled in ranks this year by a <b>Chateau Garage Albarino 2023<\/b>. Wild ferment, with both concrete egg and barrique coming to play. This is terrific. A smoky incense and savouriness to the aromatics and palate. Grapefruit, preserved lemon and slate are there too. Lees-y, saline and textural. Again, this has a wild, un-polished appeal that is a feature of Ollie\u2019s wines.
