Burghound (93)

Subtle though hardly imperceptible wood influence frames the overtly spicy aromas of plum, violet, lavender and Asian-style tea. The dense, powerful and solidly mineral-driven bigger-bodied flavors flash outstanding length on the moderately complex finale. This is an appealing combination of refinement and power.

Jasper Morris (94)

50% whole bunch which they have been doing here for a while, and two-thirds new wood. Glowing mid purple. The sample is taken from new wood, which one can see on the nose but not to excess. Bouncy raspberries, something a little smoky behind, showing a bit awkwardly at this early stage, though not without promise.
