Certified organic and matured for 6 months in a neutral French oak barrique. Deep dark red black shaded colour with a bright red purple hue. Fragrant red currant, violet and red raspberry scents sail out of the glass followed by fresh bay leaf, earth and spice notes. Vibrant juicy red fruit is the name of the game here with some delicate earth, infusions of bay leaf and spice ensuing. Crunchy like acidity and fine grained tannins with a red fruited aftertaste that’s beaming with freshness.
Drink over the next 3-4 years.

Other Reviews….
Polish Hill, from 22 year old vines, with organic certification.
Raspberry, sour cherry, floral, some basil, a dusting of cocoa. It’s medium-bodied, clean, a sort of cool feel, which makes it very refreshing, tight fine stony tannin, red berries and redcurrant, a smattering of dried herb and orange peel, and a bright but flavoursome finish of excellent length and clarity, a sort of cranberry crunch to close. Delightful. Drink 2022-2027.
