I’ve long held the belief that cookbooks and kitchenalia are a fascinating primary source of social history, and I should perhaps add wine to the list. Whilst not Earth-shattering, this estate’s history

More than a year on, this wine has hardly moved. Still elegant, lean and tannic, I was pleased with myself for the “raindrops on hot bitumen” descriptor (it’s an ozone-like smell), but more pleased to be able to note I’m enjoying this wine perhaps more the second time around. There seems to be more tobacco on the palate now, and there’s a sense of florals that I didn’t note earlier.
Still a bit severe and perhaps slightly muddy in terms of detail and definition — still quite enjoyable. I like it.
