Tasting profile
A deep purple, biodynamic Bordeaux that reviewers find spicy and powerful yet smooth and silky, with ripe fruit, earthy and eucalyptus notes, and a hint of leather. Well-balanced between polished tannins and acidity, structured enough to age but already drinking beautifully.

What reviewers say
“Their wines are £££ but this vintage was gorgeous - more fruit than other years. Nonetheless still loads of biodynamic character and good structure.”

How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
