"It’s quite different to the JC block, although, of course, similar. Like siblings, perhaps. Here we have cherries steeped in brandy, mint, iron, juice of prune and plum, though freshness is not taken hostage as a result. Dense, a bit chewy, a little warmth, but like a hug from an old friend, long lost, but well met. Ink wells and old desks, brine and blackberry. Sweet and savoury on a long and umami finish. Terrific. Verity and integrity. It’s a wonderful wine." - Gary Walsh (The Wine Front)
