Jane Anson

A gorgeous caress of aromatics, spice and power. A vintage that took its time to showcase the terroir as it was so overladen with pleasure, richness, alcohol, chocolate and spice in its early years, but it is now begining to show its juicier side, with the saffron and salt-licked minerality coming to the fore. Can be drunk now if opened for a good 2-3 hours, or keep for another 3 years to really reach the plateau, and then it will stay there for a good few decades. Yield 35hl/h, 60% new oak, 3.75ph.

The freshness on the nose is striking and you could easily mistake this for a 4-5 year old wine. Ripe elderberry and wild blackberry notes are married to elegant tannins and a lively acidity, making this leap and bound across the palate. Long mineral finish. Drink or hold. (Horizontal Tasting, London, 2019)
