Felton Road

Fantastic wine, a bouquet of raw energy and purity of fruit. Layers of red berry fruits framed by a savoury dried herb complexity, scents of soil and barrel spice, earth and gentle wood smoke, a sweetness of some new wood and dried potpourri. Taut, tense and youthful on the palate with a core of raspberry and black cherry flesh, some boysenberry then fruit and barrel spices, sand and clay. Lengthy, youthful with plenty of cellar time ahead. Best drinking likely from 2029 through 2040.

Floral and fragrant aromas of strawberries, hibiscus, cinnamon bark and plums. The palate is medium-bodied with finely integrated tannins and bright acidity, giving notes of raspberries, chalk, dark cherries and spices. Pure and polished with an aromatic lift and some old-vine nuance. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
